Dan,

You had better pull your finger out as Col is really cracking on with his car.
As far as i know i think he might beat you to the title of worlds first 3dr zetec turbo????

Does any one know of another one?

Dan, here are some teasers









10.5" Jag rear diff to take take the power from its new engine.


Dan, got your dash in yet? Should look like this.

Doug,

Fudgie hasn't got a hope in hell of getting anywhere near even Col's car's current state. You have just pissed him off big time!

Mike,
One of my dashes, but Col added the tacho afterwards. It doesn't look that bad in real life.

Col is pretty relentless when he gets going on a project.

Worth a re feature when its finished? Should be on the road aging beginning of summer.

Bespoke everything.

Mounts are being made as we speak. We had a bit of a brainstorm about them when i took these photos this morn.

Inlet is nearly finished. New alu one with internal trumpets. I came up with the design for that one and Col has done a good job of fabbing it.

Zorst is yet to be made, but we have some plans. It will be tubular, externally gated and ceramic coated. GT30 will rest on top of it.

Yup, the real Micheal Jackson did all the pukka tig work. I'm getting pretty good at steel / s steel tig but no funds for an AC unit means it all has to go to mick. He does a bloody good job too.

Yep, for definite. Be good to do a thrash alongside Fudge's - if Col's won't be ready until then you've just given him hope. Though he's going to have to pimp his ass big time to pay for it.
