Man those pictures look shit!
I would like to change the wheels but funds wont allow at the moment besides they look worse than they are as the suspension has been raised to give us a fighting chance of getting on/off the lowloader.
She isnt far off at all now!

Yep white ones are faster! LOL!
With the horse power we are looking to run there will be a few areas requiring development as the car get used but this was always going to be the plan. I get as much if not more fun from building the cars, so the development will keep me interested.
It runs a MTX75 gearbox from a RS2000 MK5 escort. It has a standard box in at the moment to get the car rolling and running. I am collecting the correct parts to build up the monster box that is sat on a engine stand in my workshop. This will have the diff and ratios I want. When this box is swapped over it will also have equal length driveshafts installed.

Haywood have done my downpipe, some extra brackets on the existing exhaust, lambda take offs and have also redone all my boost pipes in thinwall stainless. Their work is first class!
As regards costs, put it this way I am walking a bit like John Wayne at the moment and very sore, but thats not to say I didnt enjoy it! LOL!
They are not cheap but best phoning for a quote first, as ever you get what you pay for!
