Has rangie diffs, dunno what speed im doing as the speedo doesnt work, usually fast

Heres my series 1 landy with 3.5 rover 10.5-1 comp, cam and 390 holley, bit of a handful with its crashbox :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/escort21/series1002-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/escort21/series1001-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/escort21/series100...
