Hello, I'm not really a kit car guy usually, but I've got this great little daily driver that will soon become redundant.  I hate to just throw her away, but the body is getting bad and she's not worth much for resale.  I know that at one time lots of kit cars used the complete floorpan and whatnot from a Volkswagen Beetle.  Is there anything comparable on the market using the Escort as a donor?  I'd love a fuel-efficient little two-seater styled like the Porsche 356 or something.

I've never seen anything using a ford escort, but who know's there could be something out there.  

Dave,

The annual Buyer's Guide will be included with the September issue of KIT CAR. If any company provides a kit that would work with an Escort as a donor, they'd be listed in the Buyer's Guide. Check it out, when it hits newsstands on July 31. Or, if you're a subscriber, you'll get your copy in the mail around about the same time.

Best,

Brian  

A kit could change up the reliability of the escort, you might want to try using a different donor if you want to get into the kit car.  

Just incase you didn't get the magazine the Buyers Guide is now online

2008 Kit Car Buyers Guide

Good Luck  

And that buyers guide is really something nice, I tell you what!
