this is my resto thread for my project. it is a genuine 3dr shell in moonstone blue now but will be white when finished. looking at threads on here i see a lot of you have standard 3dr shells and fitted genuine cosworth running gear into them. i am doing it the other way round.
i will be using xr4x4 2.9i running gear for now, untill i have the funds available for a cosworth engine. cost is the reason for doing this so please don't advise putting this in or putting that in as i can't afford to this. i know there are better engines available and a lot won't like the idea of 4 wheel drive in a 3dr. any other advice which will help me out will be more than welcome and do not mean to sound ungratefull.
the only modification planned over the xr4x4 gear is cosworth discs and 4 pot calipers. this should make any later conversion to cosworth engine a little easier as just drop cossie lump in and a bit of wiring (i think).
here are some pics of shell in current condition.
some good areas on shell, some not so good but not too bad (i hope)
most bits and pieces already here for car, skirts / arches, whaletail, bumpers, all running gear (engine, box, axles etc), bonnet, grille, wheels, koni adjustables, dash etc.
this is how i want the car to look. not good pic as copied but i'm sure you'll get the idea.
car will be in workshop over xmas so let the games begin. hope you all enjoy the thread. it won't be a quick project (or car) but hopefully it will be done right.
