Another project of mine RS2000 Cossie mk1
Been doing this car for a while now. Comes back from painting tomorrow. Its RS2000 with steel bubble arches, 4 linked, turreted, 500bhp rated rear axle, gaz coil overs, discs all round, wilwood calipers, full roll cage etc. Just got some 15 x 8" genuine minilites with 225,50,15 tyres. Engine is running T34, greens, 3 bar map etc. has been recorded at 358 bhp.
Here's some pics, will post more when it comes back from painting and i've put the wheels on.
thanks
John

I have been working on the car all evening. If you look at the pics of the engine, it sits slightly to the right and not in the middle. I have turned the engine mounts round the other way so the right one is the left one etc. but this throws it out completely. I am baffled as to why the engine sits to the right as other mk1's i've seen that are running cossie engines sit in the middle. I have a world cup crossmember and wondered if my mounts might be wrong. Can anyone help?
thanks
John
