excellent craftsmanship though

good one for doing it though, always wondered what one would look like.

Fair one for doing it. I cant help but think a Zetec turbo would have been so much better. Then i suppose he couldnt say he had a Fiesta Cossie.

IMO, cossies only suit/should only be RWD or 4x4. FWD cossie engines dont look right.

Al it needs now is some Evo running gear and you have yourself a really serious car.

Loosk tidy though and I have no doubts that it wont hang about

I think the fact that DJM made such a good job of their KA that its not such a bad thing to go for that layout using a YB.

As said just needs some Evo running gear and it would be insane.

Any more pics of his old black 4wd one ?

On the PF dvd it seemed to have a ton of clutch slip at the PF thrash but still went well considering

I bet that XR2 is a proper weapon for acceleration, The look on peoples faces would be a picture when they get munched by it

My old 1 again

Seems to get more attention now than when i had the fookin thing

Drives crap,handles crap and imho a complete waste of money and engineering and couldnt even imagine it in an xr2. Mines had coilovers,polybushes etc etc and still didnt like corners only time it was good was rolling above 60mph and keeping it in 5th to get power down

I remember reading a mag feature on that years ago.. and the owner wanted to stay anonymous!
Was that yourself that owned it then?
Maybe that's why you didn't get any attention
