hi guys and girls, not been on here for a couple years as i haven't really had a toy to play with due to moving for work reasons and lack of garage space ect.
some people who have been on here for a long time may remember i used to knock around on here with my black cosworth powered westfield, well ive got to the point where i miss the car like crazy and want another bash at building something a little special. of course it has to be bigger and better than the previous car so here is what i have in mind.....

was offered a very good deal on a raw striker chassis, it is the race spec chassis which means it sits 70mm lower than the road going versions, the previous owner then took it along to pilbeam racing and had them rework all the suspension geometry which apparently improved things further. the car was running a hyabusa bike engine and a muffet rear diff so im going to need to make some fairly serious alterations to the chassis to fit the new engine and transmission.
the plan is that she will be getting a 2.0ltr duratec with a rotrex supercharger to take her to just over 400bhp, this will then be run through a quafe 6 speed sequential box into a 7" sierra rear diff fitted with a plate lsd.

this is how the car looked in its previous build spec with the busa engine fitted,


the new car is going to have the new style scuttle fitted as im not to keen on the angled alloy type one its got. here is the style its going to be, but it will be lower, wider and most probably black.





engine thats going to be fitted, and also the sort of instalation i have in mind...





but anyway...back to reality for a moment..and reality currently looks like this









only picked her up a few days ago and im under no illusions about how long this project is going to take me as im normally very busy so finding the time and the money to build this thing is going to be interesting. im aiming for a full build inside 2 years so please be patient with me, it'll be worth it in the end i promise

so here we go.. first job that i have started is to remove some chassis so a car engine will fit into it, this means some swift work with the disk cutter got a few hours on her tomorrow when il get my teeth into it a bit more but at the moment ive just taken the drivers tunnel back and removed the old scuttle tubes



will update as i go
