Its rubbish, not even got a ford engine, you should cut your losses and sell it to me!!
seriously, this car is totally out of the norm, love it, is that a one off kit on it? been thinking about something similar for mine, but not that extreme (but it has got me thinking), can't wait to see this at some of the shows & track days.
Look like we may have somehting to give mr shaw & wenburn a run for their money in the near future!!!
Bring on Fight Club 2012!!!

Fuckin' would!
We featured it...and my own personal opinion is that i don't care...as long as it's a Ford shell, having a different engine is proper modifying and interesting.
Engine swap is an engine swap IMO...be it a Mk2 Escort with YB or a Fiesta with an EVO engine.
This is proper next level modding, pure race and frankly....it makes me jizz!

Having seen this up close it's a good bit of kit, only thing ford is the shell. I know it would cost a bit of money but I would be getting the engine checked over as it has a real history of eating them. In the smrc next year without Charlie racing this will be a front runner with james bruce in his evo and the white caterham unless anything with the same sort of power is out next year.

Seen a "vw" that's ment to be racing next year and tbh it will be the one to beat. It's a shame that Charlie and his mate won't be racing as it was great to watch the 2 ag cars but I can see his point about wanting to enjoy the car.

Agreed with Tim there. It also needs a dog box of some description. The clue to how long the box will last is how long it's been since it was rebuilt
A twin plate will also be struggling at that power too, unless the torque has been kept artificially low?
Best of luck with it, awesome spec of car for the money.

Ive heard rumours about this 'vw' it sounds like one a kind and with that driver could be the one to beat
