Default Massive thanks to Wenny!

Massive thanks to Wenny, really helped me out of a bit of a pickle today!

I'd bought a new shell for my Time Attack build and was really struggling to sort the logistics of collecting/storing it as i'm a few weeks behind schedule due to a nasty bout of food poisoning

Wenny to the rescue:


He picked it up for me today

Not only that - but because the shell had sat outside for a few weeks and got a bit mucky inside - he also gave it a little TLC!



Top bloke

Yes Andy, the compound charged engine is going into this new shell - it's being built as a pure race car now. No road car luxuries

I've just started my second year of my Autosport Technology degree*

*And spent my student loan on the new shell

This one:


Based on an ST170 engine it's a fully built engine, custom ground billet cams, GT3076R feeding a Powerworks M62 supercharger, 1000cc injectors etc.

Yeh Wenny is a top lad. He has helped me out with my car a few times. At first i thought your car had a sierra floor pan. Good luck with the build mr Will.

If your really intent on running, then make sure there are no comfort mats on the floor this time...

Haha - the Escort RS Turbo was binned on safety grounds - A lot of the parts found their way on to the Focus project and it's that very same Focus project that is now effectively being reshelled for the Time Attack car.

Not sure if any s are now needed or not?

Will, I was working late lastnight with Wenny and Ginge and I used your wheel well for a dump, you might want to pop down and sort it
