Hi guys, been arround for awhile had a few different RS's and XR's.....been out of the game for a bit as i've just brought a house and didnt have the cash to get myself a cossie etc....

Anyhow managed to get a 33k virtually rot free mk1 fiesta for 170 quid
And a Xr4x4 2.0 DOHC for the chassis, ,diffs, shafts gearbox etc....would be sacrillage to chop up a 4x4 sapphy for that!

Here are a few pics of where I'm at now...got the fiesta stripped ready for cutting up..... the sierra is currently chopped into bits and propped up agains my garage wall







It's going to be space framed with a rally slag look, kindof like whats in my sig..... Got a panique wide arch kit for it and am planning on cutting any exess metal out and using either c/fibre or ally sheet to reduce the weight (free bhp )) As for engine and box, probably looking at a 380bhp motor to start with and a standard box (got two so makes sense to abuse them 1st and learn how to drive the thing properly)....with plans to go to somewhere near 450 and a R&D or fixit gearbox in time.

Breaks are going to be 325mm disks and 9 inch 4 pot brembo's

It's early days at the minute and funds are tight right now (doing a month in hanbd at work its killing me) so things are likely to change...just brought a welder and pipe bender ready for the weekend

OHHHHH and btw i'm and engineer with an advanced apprenticeship in Fabrication/Welding...currently work as a weld engineer so hopefully havent bitten off more than I can chew time will tell.....

Wish me luck

Dan
