Gordon Murray's MK1 Escort - Retropower Build

[jimborae]

Well that's another few hours of my life wasted.....I mean enhanced

Thanks it looks really good and as Peter says provides an interesting contrast to Project Binky. Also love the look of some of the other cars in the background. Particularly the Stratos!

Watched the whole series to date - enjoyed it as much as Binky - completely different set up!

I was thinking about the protect cost - based on their estimate of 1nan year of labour at £50/hour that comes in at around £92,000 ( which is probably conservative) and then tryint guess the raw materials and the bespoke complements like the struts engine etc - maybe £50k?

So around the £150k mark plus VAT and so looking at around £180k and I suspect that is an underestimate - probably nearer £200K and upwards!

And binge watched the rest of the series! Thoroughly enjoyed them - as I do the videos from the guys at Bad Obsession! (Binky and L'escargo).

As I mentioned above - very different emphasis - which makes both series great in their own way. Looking forward to watching more Retropower projects.
