Ok time for an up date! Well I didnt make my October deadline, I decided not to. I have been doing a lot of thinking, reading, measuring. To cut a long story short my initial plan was to get the shell decent with decent suspension and brakes etc and chuck in a Zetec. Then gradually up grade the engine and power etc but I dont want to be stuck with front wheel drive. The idea then was to fit mondeo/rs2000 4x4. Turns out the transfer boxes cant take much torque so no point using it so that plan stopped there.

I have stripped the car completely bar the wind screen.
I started on the chassis modifications: removed the front panel, slam panel and bumper bar. Chassis legs boxed off.
Started working underneath, stripping underseal and seam sealer etc, decided I need a rollover jig so got some steel and made one.
































Not much to show for all these weeks but in one way or another I have been very ocupied by it, there has been a lot of behind the scenes work reading up on things and research etc. Hopefully the next update will have something decent to show.
