used to be a company around in the late 80s called ed turners used to be in hayes/middx used to have a showroom full of whacky cars like a fiat 126 running a rover v8,a capri with a v12 and cars like a marina running twin cam fiat lumps as well as custom cars running all sorts of engines,god I miss the old days

wirralphil

Seen quite a few of them back in the day. Was the 1995/6 nationals, Clio mk1 with twin CBR900's.

Unreal sound, plus add Supercharged V8 Mini Pick Up's/Fiesta Mk3's.

I think my 106 4x4 cosworth is pretty mental!! well it will be once complete!

alanfordtw-15

how would that cost 100k?
you would have it done for 5k easy with a good welder

i love engine conversions, that 2jze escort van is one of my faves at the mo
the twin tubo granada and v12 tank engine sd1 are also good

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

how about a zetec turbo 3dr lol?

id personally consider a 'mental' engine conversoin something like a space shuttle engine in a fiat 500 (or those v8 500s at pod lol)

not a focus st motor in a fiesta lol

Viper powered kit car was insane, is that still being built?

b_kennedy

Remember that well. I was only a little one then but I'm sure my Uncle took me there several times. Anyone got any pics of it by any chance. Were there hot rods there too? I will ask him if it was the same place.
