Right been up & took more pics tonight all i can say that the photos arent doing the car & work thats went into it any justice you really need to see the car to see how much work & thought has went into it.

There is a 9inch rear diff fitted
7 inch front diff R&D
NEW R&D 6 speed box in the post
NEW Intercooler & rad in the post
NEW front Shockers in the post
NEW braided brake lines in the post
Side skirts rear spoiler & rear bumper is on its way
from M sport just now..
New dash moitor coming from fraser(promethious)
Grp A front hubs (shafts arent here yet) they might not
be ready in time for the first scottish saloon car race
at knockhill not this sunday but the next he might
have to use the old ones from the escort
High tensile with heavy duty joints
there is a new fuel cell with 2 in tank pumps...
Rocker cover is getting machined because the engine is sitting so
high..
All the fabrication , cage everything you see was done by Andy himself
the machining work was done by andys mate kenny,,
There is plastic side & door windows for the car also that arent fitted yet.









There is 2 holes at the rear of each sill for the exhaust thats getting made for it

Now this is rear hubs that he has made himself for the car they look awesome & are going to be used along with 2 reiger front cosworth shockers





The steering spindle is all home made as well
