Ok so i am partly to blame for the transit on page 1 lol thats the 3rd one now.

What i would do is a mk2 mondeo with a 32v 4.6 v8 no alterations to the outside of the car i know the axle would give it away a bit but from the side it would have to look like it was a std car with just bigger wheels and brakes

Mk3 escort rwd with a properly done zetec turbo in it in i know a yb would be easy but i think the zetec potential is there

Cossie with the yb lump out and a v8 twin turbo in it t56 box 8.8 inch axle
or better still an estate with that in lol

If i was to do something, it would be a mint old skool classic with a cossie lump. But it would be proper mint old school car with subtle changes to accomodate the extra power

I've got one.....



1964 Ford Anglia with a 180bhp Zetec, Quaife 5 Speed & plated slipper as well as full Milton Race Prep suspension set up...

Thinking of changing the wheels back to Lotus Steels with hub caps for the full on Slumberland experience....
