Remember seeing it as I pointed it out to my mate who's got a mint mk3 for a wind up.

Great project and lovely S1 - keep the updates coming mate

roscopeco · 21-08-2009, 12:08 AM

Nice work mate ! Looks like one hell of a task though ! LOL Love the S1 too , the voodoos look sweet on aN S1 ! Keep up the good work fella and keep us all posted !!!

CozzyKing · 21-08-2009, 12:28 PM

The S1 looks amazing mate, it would be good to make the cos scort look identical to it and get similar plates on so you could confuse the local boy racers with them.

WENNY · 21-08-2009, 10:01 PM

nice project mate, brings back memories of mine, nice to see another mk3 cosworth, had mine 7 year now
what colour you painting it and what you going for in the final look. xr3, 16i, sleeper etc

CozzyKing · 23-08-2009, 11:56 AM

Nice job on the arch mate, wish I could weld some times but unfortunately my hands are too shaky to try it (would end up with zig zags all over the place if I tried mate) lol
