Full story is there, as are pics I took. It may be of (slight) interest on here considering the engine it is running. It has me baffled

Ah yeah, I know them. Theres a long ugly sports model called the Ford Laser Capri. Very Retrooooo.
It looks like the Madza 323 and round about the same time the Madza 121 and the Fiests were identical, bar 1 or 2 small things. Looks like a US based motor, but owning a Madza 323 they are fantastic engines although they're let down by everything else.
I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.
Cheers mate.
I am getting a bit of info on it from the Oz owners club site
They reckon it shouldn't be running an Isuzu TD lump though! Horrible car, just peaked my curiosity! I know about Familia/323 GTX/GTR and would have broke it for parts if it was a petrol turbo
The 121/mk4&5 Fiesta reminds me that my mate always wanted the electric slide back sunroof for his fez from one and could never find one
An Isuzu Lump? Thats a GM engine?
That cant be right. The picture of the TD lump on down that thread is a Nova.

Yeah, just a pic I found on Google dude. TBH it doesn't really matter, just giving them an idea of what the motor looks like that the lad claimed it was running.
I asked them if there are any links between Isuzu and Ford/Mazda but no answer on that and from what I can find they don't seem to share that engine
I didn't think it was possible to mate the 17TD lump to a 4WD system either?
Weird stuff like this gets my interest Lol

If it had been this shape I would jump at the chance!
My former employer had one of those in 4x4 Turbo Form, a real good going car.

Cool Dod, so was it based on the 1st of the 323/Familia GTX's then I assume?
Shame the back lets it down IMO. Front end looks a bit like the offspring from a mk3 Escort and an AE86 to me
It reminds me of a car from the PC game Fatal Racing if you remember that?
Aye, thats the same body shell. And yeah I see the resembelance.
