Stunning!!

 

Nice

 

I am a life long fan on the mk2 and hope one day to buy another before I am too old to care, stunning car mate you should be very pleased with that

 

very nice! do you have any issues with the hydraulic handbrake and MoT's? friend of mine fitted one and it failed on it! something to do with needing an actual mechanical "lock"

 

What a bit of kit !

 

Awesome!

 

Very nice!

 

Its got a normal mechanical hand brake as well

 

Looking good mate, glad you got there in the end! Good thing we didn't do the same colour

 

Yer was funny when we both said we were going Grey, really happy with the colour photos don't show how much sparkle is in it in the light then it darkens up in the evening light.

 

That's stunning! Love it.

 

That's wicked. Love the engine bay pic for the frame as much as the engine.

 

Looks fantastic

 

That's really nice.

 

Hell yea !!! Top job mate

 

My mate is an MOT examiner. He says as long as there is a mechanical ratchet on the handbrake lever then it will pass an MOT.

Wow! That's the best motor ive seen for ages. Ive always wanted a mk2 with a cossie lump drive train.

 

stunning!

Makes me miss my old mk2 tina

 

That looks very nice, good work mate.

Who did the spaceframe front end?

 

Awesome car mate,any particular reason for space frame

 

Wow!!!

 

hi mate your car is really nice.Alan dent has done a nice cage and the front space frame on your car the engine bay looks the nuts .Alan did cage and front steering mods on my mk2 cortina 2door track car but I went for a zetec hope to see the car soon

 

nice mate. what sort of power has it got?

 

Very cool car

 

Was dyno'ed at 389bhp and 400 ftlbs

 

389 bhp and i'm guessing it way's less than a ton?

 

Going to weigh it soon but guessing it will be around the ton mark,

 

A work of art

 

Nice one mate. Really is a good bit of work.
