I think a nice NA engine would be better myself, but great all the same. Would love an old Escort!
Cheers mate, the arches were fibreglass. I was going to do steel bubbles, but didn't think they would suit the theme of the car. The interior is going to be pretty radical though. Going to build a tubular dash etc.
And I agree N/A does look better, but I think I'd soon get bored of the power.
I did at one point consider a N/A Cosworth with the Quaife Type 9 Sequential. Would be good fun, but I don't want to, have to upgrade at a later date.

Yeah going to run 15's, doubt anything wider than 7.5 will fit under the rear though.
