Should really get started on building this but heres a few pics for now

Bought as a shell but came with a full vanload of parts as well. Did have the 1700t kit when I bought it but was sold a few weeks later as its not very practical for trackdays

How it looks just now -











How it was when I got it -


















My saff that I stripped the running gear out of -









Thats all for now really, bought some bits for it but not had a chance to start doing anything yet

 

Should be good once running mate


Cant wait to have a go in it tho

 

You know the deal we have dude

 

nice project

but was this not already posted ages and ages ago? i remember seeing those pics somewhere before

 

good luck with it mate

 

Good luck m8...It will be proper when its finished

 

looking forward to this one, should be a monster

 

Cant wait for the next update ,you selling the saff off

 

Nice, very nice

As above what you doing with the taxi

 

Cheers guys, I sold the saff as a rolling shell to my mate Lee (jonsmiff on here) He got a nice little bargain

All my running gear is stage 3 already just got to get a T34 for it before it goes back in, and freshen up the bottom end.

 

Going to make a very nice car mate.

 

Will be great when it is finished mate

 

Should be sweet when its built mate, cant wait to see progress pics.
Im glad its not gona have the 17t kit on it though as they look a wee bit over the top for my liking.

 

i like the 1700t kit you should have kept it! its retro!

 

that looks familiar ,


good work fella , keep the updates comming ,

 

17t kit does look good but would end up smashed to bits afet a few trackdays belongs to Alexx now anyway

Considering putting the Gartac arches and skirts from the 4wd car onto this one, what ya reckon ?





They are genuine alloy items


Lee I'll need to get my finger out to catch up with you mate

 

Dave , i do like the wide gartrac arches , then sort of went off them , but if i had the chance again id deffo use them , it makes everything sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much easier when it comes to wheels and tyres as you will have more than enough room to play with ,


My other RWD Mk3 looks like a genuine S1 but its all to tight for comfort , wheels have been shaved , arches altered , kit cut and i still dont know if its all gonna work , and thats on 15's

Do it

 

lovin the project davey 2006 will hopefully see some quality track action with any luck!!!

 

Lee how bad was it mate as I was planning on using one of my S1 kits on the car with 15's
Cant mind what yours is like but the front of mine is mk2 escort stuff with GP4 hubs, rear is STD sierra width

Only thing I dont like about fitting the gartrac ones is that I would need to cut the rear quarters up and I dont really want to do that

Chiz the black car just need minor bits done and thats it finished so will get a laugh wi you on track soon mate

 

Dave , if u want to run 15's then you should be ok Maybe a trim of the rear arch or get them rolled . , and just be sure of wheel offset ,

The fronts will need spacers ( obviously ) if your running a wheel designed for FWD cars , These are available ,

 

you had me worried for a bit mate.

Aint even thought about wheels yet TBH but got enough cossie lattice lying around and a set of capri brooklands so will probably stick them on Did think about using the 17x9" OZ mag ones I have but thats never gonna work

 

why did you strip that saph?i would have had that off you

 

all fords should be rwd. like it. come to think of it... all cars should be. i like your style

 

 

Not a big fan of those arches on the Q plate to be honest mate but would leave you with plenty space. Would be a shame to chop up the rear arches on your RWD shell though...

 

give me an hour in your garage mate for a supermarket sweep

 

spot on dave mate, although am now running zetec power in a certain 3door bonus shell!!!

 

You would need a lot more than an hour mate, those pics only show part of it

 

cool project- stick the alloy arches on

 

david lookin good........

 

looks like another mad car in the making

 

UPDATE - ive done fook all

Been way too busy with work and not had a chance to finish the S2 yet so I cant get started on with this one

4wd car with the arches is sold so that options a definate no now, will be putting the S1 kit on as I originally intended

 

hmmmm s1

 

Thought you weren't going with a kit Dave? Either way will look cool as

 

David, leave the kit off m8. 1.3L badges all the way.

 

 

Nah I have to put the S1 kit on boys as fook

Rab ive still got some 1.3L badges but they weigh too much so not putting them on

 

come on david get your finger out and get some work
done on it

 

keep the pics coming nate ME LIKE IT

 

This built yet then David?
