well here she is, im finally a ford owner again











plan is to strip the car and sort out the few rusty pieces of floor underneath, hammerite and underseal underneath the car as well as powder coat wishbones and antiroll bars etc, so its nice n rot resistant... for a while at least

then its a full respray in the same black and re-apply the stickers, standard styling but with no locks.

fit my 2.1 zetec engine and t34 turbo

and then add a set of cossie 4 pots, a nice suspension kit to go with the poly bushes already fitted and a set of 17" diamond cut RS 7 alloys.

cant wait to get crackin' with the knackin'

 

I love RS1600i's and what you're planning will be A1! Especially the diamond cut 7's.

 

cheers Rab

forgot to add a black leather and grey alcantara interior retrim just gotta start gettin the money to do it now

 

Tell me about it

I need DTA or OMEX managment, and all steel bottom end and a T34. Not to mention 15" MOs and 4pot brakes.........

And the rest.........

 

ive got OFAC fmanagement at the moment, will be fine for the engine ive built, 21psi will be more than enough to kill a standard rst box

i got a bargain with my cossie 4 pots, 50 quid delivered to my front door

 

Lucky B*&tard!!

 

 

LOVELY cars IMO. Nice one mate.
