cheers peeps, was a good day, came 2nd overall in the ford shoot out, beat by a dragster ford pop. i was running 11.5 & 11.6 most of the day, my best time was 11.5300 @119 mph
what a difference a set of solid rear beam mounts and a collins gearbox mount has made to the van. if i kept the van and done a few bits i could get it close to 10`s i reckon lol
as for the weight, i might take it to the coal yard this week and weigh it, i reckon arround 1100kg
as for selling it blacky get your money out lol, i need to get the mk3 back out, aiming for 10.5 in that

Very impressive, well done boys.

A 10 in the van or your mk3 would be a great achievement

the 'sweet mk2' owner is a very good friend of mine.
iirc at ford fair last year it turned around 4.5 seconds to 60.
it is running over 450bhp i think.
