Yeah I really want it back now as well, as I want to crack on with it fitting the few bits I need to fitted for the final Mock up then getting it painted, I haven't decided on a colour yet. I want to get the engine all run in as well as it has never been started since it was built and then mapped.

Between the new engine and the weight saving I think mental is playing it down!

It was certainly hard to comprehend the acceleration at 469 and 500 ftlb in 2nd and 3rd before, if I go with the bigger turbo and 630bhp I think it will be spinning all 4 wheels a lot more. We are going to try small turbo and see if it can puff enough for the stroker at 500 to 530

Plates going in for floor and cage, Mark is Tig welding pretty much everything



Both sides done, Mark is tigging these in



They are filling all the holes in the floor, these big ones would have been access panels for the 205 orig fuel tank and were covered in plastic blanks originally

Yeah, that would be good fun. I think I would run a focus in full road trim so not sure a sequential would be right for that car.

I have been for ages, but I remember them being Ł13k and I don’t think I could pay Ł30k and then start doing work on it to make it mint.

If I bend my 205 then I would build everything in to an escort shell though

Looking good but I would won't to no how mark intends the weld the top of the tubes for the front cage as he has welded the mane hoop in . As you always tack it all on then drop it throw the floor weld it all together then lift it back in and finish off . but the mane hoop is welded in so I'm a bit confused . The only uver way to weld it is removed the roof ??

what you have said is incorrect and the main hoop is not welded in it is tacked to check fitment

A couple more pics of the rear cage work, Mark is making the fuel cell to fit in the gap between rear seats with tabs so we can put a fire wall over it.

Once the floor and tunnel / bulkhead are in it will be amazing and when it’s back and painted it will be like a brand new car.

No, I threw that idea out the window a while back.....pigs ear and silk purse and all that. I am resigned to the fact it will only ever be like taking a 1000cc sports bike out for a blast. I am actually going to install noise cancelling headphone intercom with blue tooth phone capability.

Loving these bars and the little one at top of B pillar



Bruno Senna turned up at my mates hotel with 4 mates in Mac Senna a1 s, and a few other super cars. The roads around this part of France are great for quick cars.

Coming on well. Mark thinks probably collect in September so that's about 7 weeks to go all being well.

Hi mate, the finished article should be worth the wait and Mark has been pretty clear with me all the way through that by me adding to the spec and jobs would push the time out and I was prepared for some delays. I think it will take me a while to build it back up, then strip it for paint.

Is what it is if you want a top product from a particular company sometimes there is no option and you just have to wait. If your spending a lot of money you want it right. Once it’s done and you have what you pictured the wait will mean nothing
