Yes
JP's previous attempt
The Sylva (now Raw) Phoenix. I've looked at and sat in a J15 and it is OK until you realise how low the sides are.

The j15 just looks a little to long, maybe stretched in the centre - the balance is quite right IMO.

I like that look to, but I love old Fords. . . . . .
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

And thank god he changed the name of the J-15, i dont think any amount of good looks would have allowed it to get over the Shindig name that it was
originaly released under!

Actually it's not a MK1 Escort pickup its a Dutton Sierra kit!
Belongs to a good friend of mine, started out as a standard Dutton, he then cut the front up and put a grp escort front on then cut the estate back
off it and made the pickup bed. the 1st bed was a flareside but he wasn't quite happy with it so made the one in the pic thats actually all
steel.
I've driven it a few times and it's fantastic, handles well and goes well too. Started with a x-flow, then he had my old DOHC engine and
now has a zetec.
