Default Crazy mini ford project

Hi all.. im thinking of building my own mini ford (Mk1/2 escort) and road legal basing It around the size of a go kart.... but what im putting it out is..

Does ANYBODY have any mk1 escort (or any) chassis drawings.. the idea is to take the drawing and scale it down and use a bike engine...

any help would be great

This sounds awesome! I hope you go through with it mate

If you have a look in the pics I took in the yorkraceway pics thread. You'll find a mini Postman Pat van. It may give you a few ideas?

https://passionford.com/forum/pictur...ay-photos.html Hope it works

It's a pretty good piece of kit. He does a 1/4 in 12.7 seconds with a top speed of 107mph.

how do you go about making it road legal? Would it be the same as a kit car on a Q plate?

well im first going to get it built so its running then going down the route of getting it road legal on daytime mots.

I know it is possible, and will be so cool seeing a miniature mk1/2 escort rolling on a bike engine
