Coch. I am insanely jealous. Drift on baby!

COCHYN · 02-12-2009, 04:08 PM

Nah deffo not going the wide arch route. Think I'd rather keep it as the only one on the road that isn't an RS replica. Think its just a little more crazy that way

But quite a few more updates to follow, just enjoying the build at the mo

Twins · 03-12-2009, 09:40 PM

Looking good with the snow

COCHYN · 06-12-2009, 10:26 PM

Aye, get's trickier though when it's all over the road

fezzajsy · 06-12-2009, 10:41 PM

very nice mate

strawhead_rst · 07-12-2009, 11:30 AM

remember seeing this going past my work in n.ireland was on a transporter. real sleeper. with the height of it up on the trailer ya could just see the bottom of the rear diff. absolutely mental

Glenn. · 07-12-2009, 12:02 PM

Nice pics mate.I wouldnt bother with the arches either you will have more fun in the car as it is now.Just think of upsetting those evo and impreza drivers when you go flying past them cause they wont know whats under the bonnet.

A16X_TM · 18-12-2009, 01:41 PM

just read it front to back, whats the insurance like on one of these?

COCHYN · 18-12-2009, 03:05 PM

Not as bad as you think TBH, took ages describing to Adrian Flux what it was and was expeciting them to say it was a kit car

But its really good, same as a Focus RS more or less. But of course, a quote would be different for everyone

As for any updates, had a little bump the other week, so sorting that out now. Nowt major thank god, so gives me a chance to sort more things that I wanted to do over winter

johnyjn · 19-12-2009, 11:57 AM

Some pics of the " little " bump cochyn.

tarmac terriost · 11-01-2010, 11:33 PM

nice little project that m8 great little sleeper bet it catches a few people out lol
would look great when you finished freshing it up, have you thought about fitting some st 170 parts like headlights,wheels and bumpers just an idea to freshen it up

COCHYN · 12-01-2010, 08:26 AM

Sorry for the lack of updates, but because of the "little" bump (John

), its been in the garage for over a week. Both quarters have been repaired without issues, also welding a plate over the filler cap and smoothing it in as its not needed. Otherwise because of the small dents in certain areas or scratches, I've decided to fetch 2 new bumpers and un-fogged headlights and going for a full repaint, apart from the roof.

Underneath is pretty much mint as it is, bar an unpainted diff. The engine bay is pretty much all newly rebuilt and the interior just needs a good clean. So it'll be ready for the shows of 2010, first one being Central Day along with the unveiling of Johnyjn's 3dr

Keeping it as standard as possible, right down to the orange indicators and side reapeaters. Only thing giving it away will be the newly refurbed RL7's, oh and the noise

COCHYN · 15-01-2010, 10:16 AM

Original filler cap been blanked off and smoothed, few dents and scratches rectified. Ready for a repaint, everything but the roof

dingla rs · 15-01-2010, 11:01 AM

not sure on the smoothed filler cap ,but shud look good with fresh paint fella ,hope to see it at show this year

Richie. · 15-01-2010, 11:39 AM

Shit news on your bump mate

But as always, back on track and looking good

You keeping the RLs white i take it ?

COCHYN · 15-01-2010, 11:40 AM

Yeah, you can't tell, but they have been refurbed, just covered in crap in the garage

But the bump wasn't really that bad, very lucky I'd say. Just bent one wheel though, so had to remove the rear beam and have the solid mounts welded into the beam, powder coat etc. etc. on a gravel drive. Ouch!

@ Dingla

It just looks like the other side, no difference

blacky. · 15-01-2010, 06:16 PM

so do i get a go up the 1/4 at central day???? or is it more suited for the drift if its there lol

Alex the kid · 15-01-2010, 06:40 PM

nice work mate, taking shape now!
