Small update guys, body work has started and as usual the more you look the more you find rotten metal.but hopefully wont be long and it will be solid again.

Big progress has finaly been made,got all the underneath finshed apart from brakes,got myself a focus rs gearbox because was borrowing a mates to mock up the mounts,
So now ive got my engine and gearbox bolted in.
These will be removed once iv mocked everything up so i can paint the bay.
Unfortunatly i broke my windscreen when refitting,so after a decent replacement now.
The car will be back at mine this week so i can really crack on and build it.

Looking good 
Odd request, but i don't suppose you could measure the space between your water pump pulley bolt heads and your chassis leg could you please? I'm looking into making a reverse impeller pump and need to know if my pulley idea will fit!

Great work, this thing will go like a stabbed rat. Do you have the throttle body for your inlet? I have an RS one spare.

Still doing bits when i can,got myself a focus rs gearstick setup so fitted all that with the cables,feels so much nicer than old linkage.
Also got the hydro clutch mounted.
Got a set of wheels aswell unsure to use these or steels though
The engine bay is now empty and have started prepping for paint
