Default 4X4 Focus cossie original builder

I've owned this car for a few years now and haven't really been able to use it as much as i'd have liked. Would anyone know of any previous owners so I might be able to find the original builder or even a build thread?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It doesn't have a 4x4 floor pan but it does have the 4x4 transmission tunnel.
Front chassis rails have been modified to accept the cross member. Rear turrets fitted too.

I've never seen any build posts about this car the first time I sore it was on eBay .
Take come photos of the moded front rails and the rear turets as AG tended to do them one way and A1 a totally different way .

I've messaged AG and confirmed it wasn't built by them. The link to the sale thread was interesting as the tunnel , rear shock turrets and engine mounted using box section looks very similar. I wish they notched the chassis to make room for the exhaust as squeezing the exhaust down otherwise isn't ideal.
From what I see online , A1 motorsport has closed down permanently. No chance anyone might know the owner or previous employees there?

It would be good to find the builder of the car originally especially if it was a reluctant sale and they might like to own it again.
