Charlie Chalk · 23-02-2007, 01:37 AM

Seriously needs all the interior putting back in!!

mk3cosworth · 23-02-2007, 06:27 PM

heres a few more pics but im not happy with rear wheels, there far to skinny but its my fault, ill have to order another 2
the brakes finally came tho, so we`l see if the wheels fit over them tomorrow lol

Lee Fordham · 23-02-2007, 07:08 PM

This project is an absolute inspiration!!!!!!!

The finish is like new and it looks like a car your 17 year old son brought off a grandad and cherished as his first motor, only its an ultimate street sleeper on top of it all!!!!!!

If you dont mind my asking, how did you line it all up accurately?

CraigoScott · 23-02-2007, 11:19 PM

seriously awesome car! but get that cage matt blacked or something, stop it sticking out so much!

adam_frst · 23-02-2007, 11:29 PM

lovely car, looks amazing!

mk3cosworth · 24-02-2007, 12:15 AM

im thinking of changing the cage to a full one in the same colour, as them fibreglass doors dont offer much protection lol

rs shawn · 24-02-2007, 08:36 AM

Can you not build on the existing cage rather than buy a whole new lot??
Sure someone good like Lee @ Fusion would be able to help.

Are you gonna keep the two rear wheels for spares if you need wider ones or sell on?

How will wider rears affect the 4x4 if at all?

Oh..and another question (

). Do you not feel that even with bigger steelies fitted and standard rear lights, the car has definately lost the sleeper look? I'm not doubting the rebuild or the top notch work carried out as I think it is absolutely spot on and looks the bollox: but do think it's lost more of the sleeper look compared to before. What's your thought on it?

P33VVE · 24-02-2007, 10:10 AM

A few more years of creaming over her at ford fair to come then!

chummer · 24-02-2007, 02:11 PM

Got to say peeps , i went down and had a nose at this the other day ( thanks for not tellin me to piss off wenny lol ) and it's absolutely superb , in the flesh the pics dont do it justice , this is definetly a front cover car for any mag! its about time wenny got hartlepool on the map with 1 of his cars!!!!

ye i thas lost some of its sleeper apeal but its getting a more serious car now, so i need these upgrades as next year if all goes well im looking for 600bhp
im keeping the wheels for spares and i dont think it will effect it with wider rear wheels, i could biuld on exsisitng cage as lee done this one but its more for show than pro lol

mk3cosworth · 24-02-2007, 06:52 PM

i think its more a clean look now with a few mods, people wont think its a 4x4 cosworth

Mike Rainbird · 24-02-2007, 07:51 PM

I think I would have powder coated the cage black, so as not to draw so much attention to...

I know what you mean about what you HAVE to do with the brakes etc when you get to a certain power level, but it REALLY did look so subtle with the steelies on.

Now people will just think it has just had a CVH turbo transplant, boy will they get a shock....

essex_jamie · 24-02-2007, 11:31 PM

As mike said tjey will still get a shock no-one will think its a 4X4 cossie lump in there, get the cage matt blacked and just because it has alloys wont give away its real power, how many cars do u see with alloys on these days dont mean there all running monster engine specs does it?

mk3cosworth · 25-02-2007, 07:08 PM

ye black will be the colour of a full cage, want the dash flocking and a decent set of clocks or gauges

GINGExR2 T · 25-02-2007, 09:01 PM

AWE'FUCKING'SOME

rich_frst · 26-02-2007, 02:07 PM

love it!!!!

this beats is the bollocks

butler2.8i · 26-02-2007, 05:43 PM

I`ve seen this car since its been painted and the photo`s just dont do it justice, it just looks amazing.

pauldowts · 27-02-2007, 11:28 AM

this has got to be one of my favourite cars, its awesome!!!

what are you doing with the steels??

It's Czech Mate · 27-02-2007, 12:06 PM

Hate the wheels and raised bonnet

Big steelies and a matt black cage will return some of its appeal

I have some Grey Ford Racing Ka versions of those seats that would look a lot more subtle in your car in my Blue fiesta hint hint lol

bailey1 · 27-02-2007, 12:16 PM

BIG TONY RS · 27-02-2007, 09:35 PM

that looks awesome mate really really like that only thing i would suggest is clean off all the overspray from the exhaust and the wheel arches and thats pretty much it

looks SUPERB

carlo · 28-02-2007, 04:59 PM

Looks awesome

looks SUPERB

lol ye still to do. its far from finnished but then cars like these never are

its nort as much a sleeper but people who dont know or come on here, the main targets so to say like mid life crises sports car owners lol

m.d. · 03-03-2007, 11:54 AM

looks classmate,

a set of wella steel wheels would have fit over thosebrakse, they are made for that sort of job and at a super cheap price,

is still going to be a sleeper as said, if you drove up next to my misses saxo, its just lowered and with a set of 15s, does not look anything special other than clean, which is all it is,

and people will think the same when they first se yours, well untill the loud pedal is unleashed lol,

or someone has a good exhaust and engine note ear,

fezzajsy · 04-03-2007, 02:27 AM

am luving it m8..ultimate sleeper...

Fastas · 04-03-2007, 07:50 PM

looks great

Dunc Maclean · 05-03-2007, 11:20 AM

looking awesome!

first time ive posted on this thread and i must say i totally love it! rememberseeing it a few years ago on the steelies, but as u said it obviously is getting more of a serious car now and its looking awesome! the MO's look phat on it. must agree about the cage but u already have said ur changing it, so thats cool. needs orange front indicators back in IMO, but its ur car mate!

everything is spot on. awesome

Dunc

mk3cosworth · 05-03-2007, 11:19 PM

ye i have orange front indicators and standard rear lights to go back in and im putting a black full approved cage in when i get the steelies sorted out later, but might just use them for track and 1/4 mile i havnt decided yet

mk3cosworth · 10-03-2007, 08:22 PM
