The Fiesta RST's engine was a bit of a joke. I'd stay away from that idea!

I'm more in love with the idea of something Jap or Ford, simply because you'll start off with something a little more reliable. The possibilities for the Escorts are endless though, just look at Courtney's RST project, he's got something really special. He'll be part of a big scene that will be fun to get into.
In time you'll have cheaper insurance and more £££s saved to do a project that you really want to do, it would be a shame to pump funds into a project that's dictated by your insurance risk.

I think you'd have to set up your own business mate to be classed as a trader. Why do you ask though?

That may be true, but watch out for nasty little insurance clauses though!
