Bought this as an ebay bargain with the intension to use it to pick the kids up from nursery and for running around. Then out of nowhere this idea to build a track car took over.

It started life as a 1.3 lx which the cam had worn out and ran like a bag of hammers in a washing machine.
My plan now is to fit a 1.8 blacktop zetec and turbo it. I have also bought the rear suspension cradle from a rs2000 4x4 which I thought I could modify and be able to have full adjustment on the rear axle. I now plan to run 4x4 system from mondeo 4x4 with strengthened parts so it doesn't give up on me.
Here is some more pick of the job so far.



More to follow when I get the engine mount made up and can remove the wheels that the engine is resting on.
