Hi Jay, yes the deadline was back by end 2018. The Fiesta in front of me has had some extra stuff but is supposed to be going out soon. I am promised mine will then be finished but I doubt I will be getting the call for my seat fitting before Santa comes. I really hoped to be bolting it together over the Xmas break and I don’t mean 2019 Xmas.

The man is a lying twat. It’s cost me again today to get more adjusters machined. He needs to be shut down.
Anyone getting involved with MK Motorsport is on a road to lies and disappointment

Hi, Realistically I think it will be 3 months away now as the list I gave Mark snowballed from a simple cage and the rear cradle that would have taken 3 weeks but Mark has 2 other Welders and fabricators to help out now so it MAY be quicker and if the final quote it too much I may have to reign in some of the jobs.
I then need to do a dry build up to make sure everything does what I need before total strip again and then going off for paint which will be engine bay, interior and probably underside too.
So if we assume a few weeks to build and strip (working Friday, Sat and Sun on it) probably the odd holiday then paint time I am thinking it will be 5 months or more before Mark can map the final car and do the final suspension setup.
I will be updating the thread with progress updates and then hope I do not have to spend too long on the rebuild as I want to be driving it in 2018! In the mean time I have got all the wiring to sort out and get the engine how I want it.

Yes, not happy about how nearly a whole year has gone by. I was supposed to take it to an important (to me) show in August. I have so much to do once it is back and I just want to enjoy it.
How are your projects coming on, Martin? Is the Lambo going well?, I keep following the evo one at 250,000 hard miles.

I am pleased with what has been done, just annoyed at the over run on timescale. Mark knows this and is very apologetic.
I know it will be finished and as soon as the Fiesta goes out I will be all over it like a rash and making a pain in the Arse of myself.

Wondering what people would advise for under floor and then the actual inside floor wells. I am thinking of the POR type products and having the car painted underside in Red and then maybe colour tinted Rhino liner in the foot wells for grip and protection and then maybe some trays with grip tape?

The weird thing is that I was thinking about what is left...its a paper thin Pug roof, and part of the rear floor, the arches are fibreglass, the boot is Carbon Kevlar, the Doors are Carbon Kevlar, Bonnet is Carbon Fibre, it had new Chassis legs in the early 90's and now the floor and bulkhead will be new (eventually) and then the cage holds it all together. The rest of the underside is WRC copy (ish) Ford. I think a crisp packet might weigh more.

I will speak to Mark after the Christmas break. I will be picking the car up in the early part of 2019 one way or another.

Looks like another promise that's going to delay its completion. Can't say I'm surprised

I am planning to go and get my car at end of Feb. Mark knows this.

The pic was sent as a suggestion and the plan has always been to bead roll the floor and tunnel.

Are you getting carpets, sound deadening ect?

No, car has gone too extreme for that and I have given up on the idea of making it a car you could use every day, it was a silly idea as my normal 205 gti is hard work compared to modern stuff.
I will have sound deadening on the roof and alcantara, the floors will be rhino linered to cut sound and give some grip and the rest is planned as bare racer paint but I will possibly have some carpet sets trimmed like my friend has in a 993 RS club sport as he puts them in for trips to the ‘ring.
I didn’t want to track day the car before as the cage was crap and the shell would flex, now I do plan to take it to pod and also track days.

Swaged lines for me both in the tunnel and the floors with cross design , if you have large plates like that I know you will bend them very easily even if it 3 mm metal unless there's box section going underneath.
Thses are like mine but new lol
cheers paul

I am very confident that Mark will pull it out of the bag and not let me down. If he and Matthew get stuck in there is not actually that much for them to get it done.
