all the chassis work seams to be spot on but i think stevie wonder and ray charls finished it of as every thing is half ased/bodged together.
so the plan is strip back to a shell and stat again, pull the pinto out and go cosworth yb 4x4

I actually think this is really cool - bit like the evo powered fiesta.

Do you guys have a workshop unit? Im looking for something local but cant find anything thats not either a normal garage or a massive 20 car unit!
