Default Andy Gallacher,s focus cosworth (small vid page 9)

I went up tonight after work n took a good few pics.I decided to start a new thread with pics from the camera instead of the other pics from camera phone.........










Pipe bender & guilitine above for fabrication & roll cages

Look how close the rocker cover is to the bonnet he has raised the engine
so the driveshafts arent at a bad angle he wants it sooo low









This is a pic of a new fiesta shell from Msport andy put a cage in


Paul@northyorks old escos track car in for a engine rebuild

This is a customers black focus cossie near completion. a real sleeper


Andys old focus owned by his mate & just waiting on a loom from PROMETHIOUS (hurry frazer)


This is his mates escort cosworth built from a new motorsport shell interior everything bar the runing gear. its small turbo & dosent need much to finnish it could be on a 07 plate watch out for it.The owner works away alot.



I will update this every other day

An ambitious project no doubt and fair play for having a go I think I would have tried to use more of the original floor and bulkhead and cut out areas needed and then fabricate a tunnel to match rather than weld in a Sierra bits or just go tube chassis and sheet alloy it . Will be good to see it progress though

Awsome fabrication work and out of the norm thinking, after looking at the build pics of his fiesta this thing will turn out amazing

Have the regs changed in the race championship or are they going in another group, as i thought they had to stop using the focus and fiesta bacause they were never 4x4 from the factory?
