2000 Ford KA, 300mm brakes, showcage, impreza seats, welding and respray
Hey, thought id better start a thread on here.
Its a 2000 'x' Reg Ka, so has the endura engine etc. Was quite impressed as it has power steering. Very rusty, brakes are crap, suspension on its way out, needs a lot of work, no mot no tax but only cost me £100
Bought a few parts:
Mondeo Mk3 Calpiers
ST 170 300mm Discs
Bmc Cda Air filter
Impreza bucket seats
Weld in petrol cap repair panel
Spoiler
Sport Ka rear bumper
Mk5 Fiesta Shocks and springs
MS Side skirts
Saxo Show cage
Still waiting on most of it turning up.

Get rid of the show cage, they do more damage in a crash than they do good.

Also removed the airbox and fitted my bmc cda air filter, made up of a combination of stuff to get it down the gap between battery and fan, was a tight squeeze but goes down to cold air now.

Iv'e heard that they are not very safe as well. Why dont you extend the cage and weld it in properly thus becoming a proper roll cage
Nothing against your plans you understand, I like the project 
. Whats the actual plan for the car then, where's it gonna end up?
