Cool Well Done Ade500

At last fast ford (december issue) got their feature on Ade500s stunning 3dr, hes one of the few guys in the ford scene who is not a show off and managed to escape getting his car featured for a good few years by ducking and diving away from the mags, his car is 100% built and not bought I had a long chat earlier this year with Jamie King I finally got Ade to do it at gunpoint

Stunning car and great to see he did not just drop a yb in it and go the boring route, always looks red hot on passionfords club stands at shows

I always thought a mag feature makes all the hard work building it worth while...!

funny thing is knowing ade this is the last type of thread he wants to see as he is a real limelight dodger who has helped untold amounts of guys with their cars, a true unsung hero so take the praise Ade as its deserved

Well,it sure is a very nice and tidy car.

After all the troubles he had with his engine,it was time to get it featured in a magazine..

And yes,although he doesn't like all the attention,he can be very proud of his car

Really good to see Ade's car in the mag

The engine bay is a work of art IMO and it doesn't go too badly either!

On recommendation, popped out today and bought this issue of Fast Ford, glad I did, well done Ade, nice to see something different, glad you resisted the YB route, and persevered after the engine failure.

Just off to read the rest of the mag now, looks a good one this month imo.

Cheers Steve , it was a pain but it was worth it as I really enjoy driving it now knowing we built the engine from scratch.
