Day one

As it sits now....... It's been mine for 7 years with myself being the only UK owner on the V5 since it came over from the Netherlands.
Now it's looking pretty rough with everything being worn out, broken or not up to spec...... but the main thing is it's a damn good shell with all original panels which is bloody hard to find these days (rocking horse shit in wet 'n' salty Scotland too!)



Respray, new bumpers, new wheels, de-chromed etc etc etc will happen eventually....... or I could just run it rat look for a while



All this will get ripped out for the new build.
Initially it was going to be a 1900, then 1600 CVH, now its definately a 2.0 ZVH using an ST170 bottom end and standalone management that's heading to the bay soon.
Quite a few trick features going to be used in it with a high revving 8 valve 300 BHP motor being the result.... with a good bit of help from SiTech Racing



To be honest I much prefer sitting over this side! Plenty to be done in here too....
And thankfully no cracked dash to deal with


Also it will now be in Fast Ford magazine's staff project section following its progress.........which is giving me an ongoing kick up the arse for me to get busy with it

My first page is in this month's with pix and an intro story of the history of the car, next issue the engine build commences!
It's probably only out for about another week, so if you wanna see it grab a peek soon
