not completely different, i mean only so much i like to do with the look of them...just nice and low on some black series 2s or black comps (depends how much i want to spend on it)

and just going to gut it with most of its weight and cage it....

and then il get a zetec sorted out for it...

and then track it!

Originally bought it for a reshell but it seems too good to pull it apart now






The rear arches arent even chipped and you can see the factory spotwelds interior is all out now aswell and i havent found a spec of rust on the entire car!

Next picture rocks
