what front and rear suspension did you use? and was it easy enough to do?

Can't wait to see it back in action!
Thanks, James

Best of luck with it Martin!

(edited to say floor looks factory and new paint looks good!)

PLease excuse the quality of the pictures, they are original photo's photographed with a digital camera.
Where it all started in late 1994
After returning from DJM it was time to start building it...
Can't find any more pics of the build but here's some though it's life..
At Donno, Dangerous on the left..
At a 0-100-0 day (can't remember which mag) with my old Skyline to the left. Cosmo did 0-60 in 3.8 that day
Was invited to have my car featured on a Men and Motors programme but this happened the day before They still filmed the car around the damage
At The Clarkson shoot, he's shaking my hand because his cars were wasted by a humble Mondeo..
De-tuned and ready to sell...
April 02 the car is sold but while he sorts the money out let's do just one more
track day, what could possibly go wrong..
That just about brings it up to where we are now..

That car became the twin engined Renault 5, but at the time of the shoot had the normal layout.

Still one of my fave Fast fords of all time,i even prefer it to Martins esc cos 
..maybe because it wasn't something you could just buy from the showroom...or maybe it was because it was something you wish you could buy from a Ford showroom!
Infact Martin showed Ford what they could have made if the number crunchers at Ford didn't run the show!!
Also its nice to see a "past master" still surving in 07 and ready to mix it with the best of them...i can't wait to see it finished,hopefully a tastefull mag feauture is in on the cards....this car deserves it!
