No hes not coming to le mans much to my dissappointment. Leaves me being hte only cosworth in the group

 

i´m going to lemans with my brother and neveu, where will you be down there?

 

we are staying at the campsite which is right next to the airport. On Sunday evening we all head down to the Mulsanne Straight once its open. If you see us come and say hello. In the group there is my saff, white Mitsi Evo 6, Black Mk2 Escort. If you see them 3 cars together thats us

 

cool
We are going down with bus, so we will be @ the FDM camp.
Kelv will have my number

 

Awesome,

look forward to meeting you

 

I should be there in my car too....

 

As Richy has said, the car wont make it now, althought i was hoping it would.

the car isnt that far off completion in reality, but im certainly not going to break the bank or cut any small corners just to get it ready for the weekend, but ill still be going tho.

either be in a 206 gti or possibly my astravan - but a little twist may be happening with the van over the nest 2 weeks. to many projects in one go maybe


Ronnie and Rolls be good to meet up if you are there. will make contact before we all go and sort out meeting up

 

fooking nora..top work there Kelv..them wings are awsome, oh and the gearbox, and the dash board and well everything really.

What I really want to know is how the hell do you guys afford to do this... there must be a few drug barons on here or something...lol... maybe i should go on the take.. well better than going on the game, wouldnt get more than 50p a go.

Top work mate, cant wait to see piccys when it is finished

 

I'm hoping to be taking mine ... Will be heading out on the 10th and back on the 16th/17th

 

im certainly hoping your going to be there mate, weve got a few beers to catch up on

 

Dude aint that the truth ... Will be there NO MATTER what . First few are on me buddy..

 

have a few for me while you are there you two.i'll be working

 

we'll send you a postcard



actually, maybe even a few picture messages of our beers

 

Awesome car in the making this one!

Please give me a nudge when your finished chap.

 

dont worry dave you will know asap mate

 

are u making the back wider also?? wont it look weird if the front arches are so wide and then the back is just normal??

 

 

the fronts look alot wider than they actually are, i think its because of the shape of them with the bubble.

but i am trying to find out if i can have the rear arches pulled slightly aswell to even up the difference.

would be nice to have 10" rears and 9" front wheels instead of just the 9's ive already got.


Doug, thats going to take some beating



Dave, will be my pleasure mate

 

If you find someone to pull the rears Kelv he may have another customer

Not to sure until its on the ground

 

Kelvin: Very nice mate looks the bollocks!

Mike: STFU

 

Dave (Jacko) they look nice mate, ill have to pop round and have a peek next weekend when im home.

and ill keep you posted on the rear arch side of things


Ben, cheers dude - appreciate that mate
im working tonight but ill give you a bell late afternoon tomorrow about a few things

 

The fronts are wider than normal escos wings, if you look at the front of the wing where it meets the front bumper there should be a wedge shape welded in to push the wings out further. 18x10" fit under mine no problem.

 

Anytime Kelv your more than welcome mate.

They are a real pain to fit, and will send my originals off to be done in the mean time, as there is no real weight saving to be had here.

Your car is looking the dogs danglies by the way

 

very nice escos mate!

are they just wider arch's or something ive not spotted?

not keen on the bunnet but its always nice to be differnt! i might change my mind when it painted

 

McGoo - not just wider mate, they are now the exact same spec as the genuine WRC wings.

they have the WRC bubble in them, which is alot clearer to see in the picture of Daves white escort above.

 

these wings are the genuine wings that came off kelvs car.and they have been "massaged"to get the wrc lump over the top of the tyre.

i love these wings and would love them on mine but refuse to lose the original welds to do so

 

who did ya flockin kelv ?

 

Cheers Neil


Jay, the the one and only Dan @ Rapid Ford - and a top job he has done on it aswell.
highly recomend him for it - so put some business his way

 

he is good done my consul dash shroud and a few interior bits and bobs

 

Nice one! Localish to me

 

Looking good buddy....

Can't wait to see it done

 

Nice work Kelv! loads of trick parts! gonna be awesome when finished
