Default Who can space frame a front end in the south? And cost?

As above, seriosuly looking at space framing the front end and full caging a mk2 Fiesta for the engine/gearbox combo Iam building it would make more sense.

Any ideas on approx. price/timescale and so on?

Adrenaline I thought were an option but their website is down, are they still in business?

cheers

No mate. Not looking to RWD it, just space frame the front end alone.

yes we are alive and strong, Just having a new website done at the moment and servers changes from Petruccis so unfortuanately we are not getting any emails to adrenaline email address. email d_bryant@btconnect.com or call the number above.
XRT si Its definately something we can do for you, need to discus how far you want to go with the front end sush as chop the car off in front of bulkhead and start again or retain chassis legs and tube the rest. Definately work sopmething out though.

Hi danny, sorry just searched for this post!! I did reply back but presume that you didnt receive the mail?

Went to look at an earlier 1999 one and a later 2002 one, 1999 was nice but ideally wanted the facelifted one - which turned out to be a bit of a donkey, rust on the front, digs all down the sides etc etc, plus was a canadian import so read in kms (would like a US / MPH one). Still on the lookout for one!!

Hope all is well

Chris
