Not done any more to this one yet, will get cracking in the summer!
Did plan to use the full inderpendent susp of a cossie, although Harvey at SCS sugested otherwise and to use a 2.8 capri rear axil and rose joints. (got plenty of time to decide b 4 i get that far)

Havent taken any more pics, but there are some i havent posted yet and some of it before i decided to turn it into a rear wheeler

The story is that i was doing it for a friend, He had a Mercury grey S2 with rusty front pannel, wings and rear pannel but suprisingly spotless untouched rear arches.
He asked me to help him replace the pannels and then he was going to give the car a full respray.
He then decided that he wanted to put S1 pannels on and paint it white to have an "E" plate S1. (intending to put the RST engine back in)
Thinking it was a good idea and after he spent well over £500 on genuine Ford pannels, i put them on for him. no probs.
Then came time to paint the shell and fit the S1 kit and put it back on the road.
This was when i found he jus couldnt be bothered any more (not that he did anything anyway lol ) and got stuck with a shell in ma garage!
"moan moan moan dont know what to do with it" so i said one day when he was in one of his funny moods ill give ya £100 for it. lol
He said £150 and its yours! lol With a mint S1 body kit inc tow eye cover.
SOLD!
So thats why, as it only cost me £150 id wanted to do something a bit different,
RWD/4WD "E" reg S1.
