Right ive been pondering where to take the car for the fabrication to be done an ive taken in to consideration everyone's comments good/bad an what i feel so ive drove a million miles as ive been to A1 Rallysport AG Motorsport and MK Motorsport to visit in person an ive decided to go wiv mark from MK Motorsport for a few reasons sorry steve/andrew ive made my decision good/bad me and mark had a very long chat an i was happy with what he said an what i wanted from him he has given me a price that ime more than happy with for the work being done!!! The workmanship in his workshop is very impressive an ime not calling the other garages one bit as there very good!!!!! It's the bigger picture ime looking at wiv my project an ive got to go wiv my gutt feeling an thing mark can supply me wiv wat ime looking for help/advice/serivce/parts basically a one stop shop so the misses is away the bank holiday weekend so guna get stuck in an strip the car an get it dropped off wiv mark I must say andrew from AG Motorsport and Steve from A1 rallysport where very help full in every way!!!!!!

Dimma4x4

Will do pal

I visited his workshop an in my eyes its top stuff that goes on in his workshop an very helpfull guy

Dimma4x4

Hi Steven

I don't know if uve visited mark at mk Motorsport I got the feeling he's more than capable ov the work when i visited his workshop wiv the things i seen there as 4 a jig think his cosworth pickup was on it but couldn't say 100% as i was that busy lookin about at his jobs there but ime sure he's got everything to do the job!!!!!! Basically he's capible ov everything that i need doing wiv the car so no need to be sending parts all over the country wen it's all under one roof

Sounds an interesting decision, full conversions is not something i thought MK done, certainly not advertised anyway, am sure it will be spot on mind you.

Busy busy chap aswell.

Keep the updates coming.

Dimma4x4

I'm sure you have made the correct decision from what I've seen of his work.

Dimma4x4

Thanx mate it's been a very very big decision for me to make an a lot ov thort went into my choice but ime defo sure i've made the right decision in choosing mark as he's doing all the wrc parts for me an no doubt everything else i require the stuff he manufactures there is top quality so what ever i need for the build he's got there so no need post/delay as thing progress with the build

Right got the spanners out this morning an had a good go at stripping the car managed get the front nearly stripped an had a good go at the dash/trip engine/gearbox/cradle/driveshafts/everything going on eBay to fund the build!!!!!! Going to leave the real axel on for now so easy to move like a wheel barrow Going to try an do the rest ov the stripping over the bank holiday the get it dropped off to mark at MK MOTORSPORT asap

Garage needs a bit ov a tidy

Good progress mate

The best bit will be when it comes back from MK's and you get to get hands on with the build yourself


I had the same thing when my car fabrication was being done up at AG's, was great seeing progress but couldn't wait to get the car back as it was there about a year and i was itching to get hands on with the project myself

Good luck with the build fella, it is in very good hand with Mark

Dimma4x4

Thanx pal

Dimma4x4

He got ants in me pants ha ha just did a few hours every morning over the weekend an soon got it sorted there is nothing to them when u start apart from the dash can say got a little bit worked up on that bit a ha

If you are towing with the wheels on the floor then by law the car needs tax and mot, just incase you were not aware as towing a stripped shell will most likely catch the old bills eye as probably not having tax and ticket
