Looks good, but would be a bit worried about the shell prep though?
Cage looks like an off the shelf bolt in item eg OMP.
Would expect something like this to have a cage that is integral and essential to the strength of the chassis.

As I am going in a bit blind, as I'm from a Jap Scrap Background...
Many thanks guys, Amos...

Well went and seen the car and it was the best bit of workmanship I'd ever seen... But I didnt buy it.... The car was not as discribed, it wasn't 460 bhp, the engine didnt run so I couldn't even here it run, It wasn't SVA'd or road legal, and he wanted me too leave him Ł14,000 deposit, and he would have it running by the end of the year......
It is sold now so good luck to the new owner, some Rally Cross boy...
Great car, but wrong deal.......

I was the owner of the fiesta on ebay.
The car is FULLY space framed and weighs 900kg. 24bolts removes the body from the chassis. The whole car is a roll cage with a shell on top. The car has run up and dyno'd and the car is 450BHP and it handles like a caterham 7. I built is a Road legal Track day car. the car had 2 be sold before it was finished as house forces sale.
I dont expect my car to be as good as Steve Scott or AM as they do this thing for a living and i do it for fun so remember that im just a back street garage that specialises in cosworths.
The car was sold for more than it sold on ebay to Pat Doran the British Rallycross Champion so the car couldnt be that bad could it guys!!!
Thanks Tom

Doran probably bought it to strip it out and build it properly.
