Hot weather or not,this baby still gets out lol,i had a set of fitapaldis 5 spoke,not far off rondells,but the thing was when i changed too a 330mm front disc it would not clear the step inside the 17's,and it was the day before ford fair,so i had 2 take this set off my other cosworth cab just so i could get too show lol.They will do for now i suppose,but thanks 4 all yr comments.

in the last year i've had 2 kids, missus has gave up work and thats soaked all the cossy funds up so its not being used at the mo.
needs a little bit of welding on the sills/battery tray other than that its all good, will probably have ago at stripping the whole car down and give it a complete restoration.

i'll give anything a go but wether it all goes ok is a different matter

Very nice mate!

So how hard is this to do then? Is it built from a cab with cossie running gear and panels or built from a cossie and converted to a cab?

I always wanted to do something like that a few years ago but never had the bottle to start it.
