Some of you may remember this car as it's been around a bit , staffi , rs-Leigh and Ben M before me.
This is a little diary of what I do with and to the car lol.

This is how it looks now with my 18" group A RL7's . I also removed a few of the smaller stickers as it looked a little busy for my taste.




Last week I fitted a tyre temp and press monitor supplied by Mike, which is great for use at track days. I've also ordered a fibreglass rs500 front bumper which should arrive any day.
Couple of other bits on the shopping list are an amal valve as boost needs sorting and a new diff. The "mig" spec one in there at the moment isn't the best thing I've ever driven on track with .

 

Id check that cage!

I drilled the holes you know what my measuring is like

 

Oh FFS











I trust you, sort of .





.

 

Nice car

I dont know if i have told you this before, but i think it would look good redone like this:

 

Never knew you fitted it Luke...


Good to see it up and about again....

 

Andy, it's a road car mate.

Nash, you have mentioned it once or twice dude.

Good to see what happens next with the old girl....

Shame you removed the stickers as it was a pretty spot on copy of the Mcrae car.

fooking hard to improve on a very nice car i have admired for a while and even own some of the parts off the car lol

But that is looking sweeter than ever will it be at our beds track day palmer

 

Just loose the ford stickers on the door mirrors and fit the proper ones that should be there RED

 

Stickers are still under consideration

 

Good to see this car is still alive

 

First I've seen of this or atleast I think it is. Is there a build thread of it how it got to this stage? Looks clean in those pics, love a white 3dr! Are you planning to compete with it?

 

It will be fine mate... I promise.. No more Nails ROCKS!

We all had a go one night in the dark...was good fun

Was a funny night BUT not as funny as that day we returned from somewhere and got stuck in traffic .

 

here you go mate, this is the build from road to track.....

Out of interest , what tyre size did you manage to fit under the arches of your old car mate?

Little update.

Mounted the tyre pressure and temp gauge in the dash as it was just stuck on before.
Removed and stripped the clock , then cut it to fit the monitor.


This it 99% finished , will do for now until I can get some sort of fibreglass mold sorted .

:icon_smile:

 

hey where did you order the front bumper? greay looking car by the way

 

Bumper came off eBay , but as it's still not here Ill reserve judgement on the quality .
