Excelent news then, good luck and plenty of people about to help if needed

 

looks good and a nice find mate cant wait to see it updated

 

Look forward to more pics.

 

Excellent, another returns.
Good luck with the work

 

I be over soon to help mate

 

Nice project will make a nice car.

Anyone know of any other surviving 2.4 special editions from Power engineering out there?

 

Think they told Chris made about 300. Fair play to the guys they are digging all the history they can find on car over next few days.

 

here are pics like promised the car is a little rough but some love will sort that 7 years of standing hasnt helped lol at all but back arches are mint no the down side is i got it running after 7 years and it runs good but under load there is a knocking noise and it dont sound like crank so engine is going to get removed and stripped for inspection and fixed

 

I like the look of this look forward to more updates good luck

Tony

 

well mine will be on the road soon a fresh 2.4 with lots of toys

 

A related piece of cossie history ready to be returned to it's former glory. Nice to see it being saved. Cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would of paid extra for that wood trim though!
Oh well, if we all thought the same way the world would be boring.
...on second thoughts it would be full of cossie powered Fords so maybe not all bad! lol
Good luck with the resto.

Are PE still doing the conversion then? Or have you specced and built it yrself?

What is the advantage of going bigger in cc? More power? More torque? Higher rev limit? And why go 2.4 instead of bigger turbo for example?

Wood gotta go Chris

 

stop being gay russ retro look

 

Gay u seen inside ur car!!! Swap the wood for carbon

 

yay its the 90's again

 

After reading the other thread about this i would like to know how 443bhp can be got with a T35? 400cc's can't make that much difference can it?

 

Nice project.Will be a beast when its finished.

 

not sure what they have exactly done but i have proof from power engineering that thats what it is

 

Very nice project great that it's being saved and not broken. I can remember this car years ago at ford fair and the sad story about the owner but I'm sure he would have wanted it too be used.

 

Fair enough good luck with your new project

 

5 not number plate been removed and i have give power engineering engine code and it all matches and i have paper work with snot plate on and dvla retention paperwork

 

wood yuck interesting find mate cant wait to see progress

 

Is the wooden interior bits a Rouse Sport option ?

 

wood option is power engineering walnut trim

 

It's sh*t is all we need to know lol

 

Blast from the past - I remember this car well, when it was first built.

 

Interesting project, best of luck with it

 

 

Is this bein broke now? Seen it over on rs classics forum...

 

I've now got this engine, turbo, ecu etc from this car and its going in my ebony black 4x4 saph

 

Shame it got broken for parts

 

That engine made big torque and went like the clappers, that I do remember.

 

Real shame it got broke way too many good cars getting broke! But least the engine lives on.

 

Look forward to more pics.
