Very nice!

A 9-inch should be more than up to the job - they are big old boys!

Punter

yes i know should be just right for the job along with the tuscan speed six gearbox i'm hoping it will not go bang

Punter

so guys i'm nearly ready to pick the the old gal up after all the fab work again.

the axle is nearly done and making an watts linkage to go on this from new is not and easy task.

i have a small amount of metal work to do when back tthen back to the paint shop secound time round.

i also found out the my 7j and 8j rfx alloys are no good and need to sell them only good thing is that i get a new wider set now more rubber lol.

next updat to come when the axle is done.

sorry for the long gaps this has been a battle over the years to get this done and this year looks good to finish.

regards

the engine is off to tommys next week all booked in.

I will get some pics up tomorrow of the axle.

cossie daz

What sort of spec you going ?

Punter

daz,

I have a cosworth lump for the old gal Pictures on page 3 with a tvr tuscan speed six gearbox and ford mustang 8" shorten axle with 6 link.

spec regarding the engine is the same as MK M6 fiesta ( am I right saying that MK) just not got the same turbo or cams so I will be around 400-450 bhp at around 800KG or lower.

I will get the spec if you would like let me know?

cossie daz

Sounds awesome , I await more pics

Punter

Right I had a look at the car last night and the axle is on now just awaiting the half shalfs now which should be in today I will get some pics up soon I'm looking to pick her up on Tuesday
