This looks absolutely fantastic.
I can't tell if that's a peripheral port manifold or not...

This brings back some memories to me because in the past i owned similar models like the Ford Escort, Opel Kadett and Ascona. I don't think they where ever sold in the states though...

When i got my driverslicence in '89 you could pick them up for a few hundred $ and all RWD and i had some really good fun with them. I live near the Belgium border and i know they are more easy on these kind of races then over here. Due to environmental regulations these races are getting less and less unfortunatly.
