Having owned this for nearly a year and not touching it as i didnt know wether to keep or not i've decided to start on this as i want a car to replace the 3dr Cosworth track car.
The aim is to do as much as i can myself as im fed up with Cosworth ownership and all the rip off merchants you have to deal with

This is what it looked like last summer.





Harnesses and wheels sold and i will be selling the seats on soon.

New wheels purchased and will be getting a refurb soon.


Competion engine mount ready to go in.


Compbrake top mounts with 1 degree of negative camber built in.


Adjustable rear beam being sorted on a group buy on another fourum.


Got hold of some new old stock Ford Leads.


More to follow very soon

 

Seems a good start mate, I shall be watching this!

Any plans for the engine?

 

I'm going to run it as it is at first then decide.

But i do have a brand new old stock Zetec head and1.8 short motor that i may build up for this.

 

Seems a good start mate, I shall be watching this!

 

O.Z Raing alloys that i shall be running full slicks with.



Freshly powder coated Pepperpots with Yokohama AD048R Trackday tyres for use as intermediates.
