Properly built chasis by Ford so i am confident this will stay between the kerbs! Have had it a couple of months now and have changed nearly everything already Been round the same bend the bean tin didn't want to negotiate at faster speeds with no problems

Lol yes Gaz they were only going to go on for a while as i am still waiting for a new MO from Martin/Comp but they have grown on me now so may be staying
I guess me and you are to be seen as inferior now we drive saffs but who gives a fook ehh Same performance with better handling and aerodynamics at half the price

Looks good Spadge, I knew you had a Saph but didnt know who it came from till earlier on this evening.

It was a tidy car when he had it, so I imagine its pretty damn nice now you've added your touches to it

Those wheels were a bit shite which is why i can't give them away
Its changed a lot since you saw it in the flesh mate and its never needed any welding
btw can you use a normal mig for welding 'tin'
