Hiya, just thought i would share with you some of
my work when i worked for fords.
As you can tell, i had a lot of input into the original 3dr cosworth,
and i was the main designer.
A lot of work went into designing the car, and in the end, i got it exactly right..........






































Comments welcome.............

design the Impreza in 1992.......


Here is a picture of one of the pre-production
proto-types on durability test, before the body
panels/styling was finalised:

Yeah, after all that initial work on the early design
stages, they then sacked me and made me swim back to England

I got the last laugh though...

I ordered 45,000 pistons fron Cadburys......knowing that they
would HAVE TO use them............the rest is history.
