Is it Very low comp?
Whats the funny engine mount for? (Left hand side of engine bay)
It Will be pretty fast if the 4x4 transfer box can handle the power

Yep 4" up the front and 3" all the way back with curved exit pipe just peaking from bumper I'll post a rear pic, AVA took the engine mount and inner wing section from the Mondeo I guess it makes it more stable, not going to run silly power through it or rag it in lower gears I've waited to long for the conversion to be finished to brake it now.

The original idea was to show it in modified class RSOC but after having a near fatal motor bike accident in 2005 my life has changed, I physically wouldn't be able to keep it in show standard condition but maybe a club stand? would still like people to see it & just enjoy driving it. Be nice to attend the shows again not been to any since the car went for the conversion.

It won't be a museum piece, however. It will be used hard on track, hard, don't you worry.
A bloke on eBay called 'rscustomhoses'.

Theres not an awful lot left to do, it's just having the time and money. I'm my own worst enemy, though. I'm never happy. Like all the fuel hoses, I've hardly used them but want Aeroquip now. Same with the rear suspension. It's fine as it is, but won't be happy untill it's multi linked. I had a bolt in 6 point cage, then sold it straight away as I wanted a proper weld in etc

Its going to be a monster. Im Aeroquiping mine over winter. Just working out which fittings i need... and whether or not to keep the oem steel lines and use compression fittings to clamp onto them...

With the aeroquip? not sure yet i've only been brave enough to look at a few prices lol. Im hoping it won't be too bad, especially if i stick with the ford metal lines, probably half the amount of hose i need then...
28weeks Muz! shit me thats a long shift lol.
