You build top cars as allways mate

Do you buy shells ready done then work your magic, or convert them to cos floor pans yourself

The staff have stuff to write about, while people like us try and build stuff for them to do so. Mind you neil who is building a fleet so he can have the mag dedicated to his builds. FastNeil magazine. Shame he sold the Red Fast Ford escort really

The silver one was partly done when i picked the shell up. But i prefer doing all the work from the start as taking on someone elses work you never know what has been done right or not.

The floor pans and fab work is not that much of an issue, making custom parts, the time and the costs involved is what makes it hard work.

Any more mad motors planned?

How many cars you own and what are they

Couple of customers have some great machines which will be out soon.

The RWD MK4 will have the larger engine installed at some point this year. Was going to bring the XR3 back out for the track days instead of RWD untill the engine for the red one. Also finishing off an Esc Cos build and the Bantam is at the paint shop which will need putting back together. Not buying any more shells either as i have too many now.

Need to concentrate on customers builds over my own, as i end up with a back log of cars. Working on my own as a one man band has its draw backs. But at least i know all the jobs that leave i am happy with.

Been banned for a while because of traders take my help the wrong way....

They see it as trading on the forum, even though i have my own forum with 3500+ members to trade on.

Also if you read any of my posts in context you will understand that i only try and help people out. NOT TRADE!

So i had to ask nicely to be let back on here

o danny..
We have two options.


1. Drop right back to the end of the bunch on track leave loads of space and try and catch up, keeping the S1 out of dangers way behind the XR3.


2. Get right to the front and keep the S1 out of dangers way in front of the XR3.


If you think you can get infront and stay there your welcome to take it on

I love this car and would be handing you money right now if i didn't other things more important that are sapping all my money.
Its a great mix of subtle looks, being practical and a beast all in one
maybe one day i'll i'll bring over my s2 rst and get you to convert that for me instead- rwd mk3/4's running cossie setup are the best thing around at the mo imo
