Guys can I just say this is awesome! I race an XR2 at the SMRC events (only done last race of 2007) but have been an avid spectatator for a while and the old car was awesome.

This one will just be spectacular! Possibly the fastest saloon around Knockhill ?

PS I'm from Ayrshire too so it's good to see local boys doing well!

Because I imagine compared to the actual thrill of racing wheel to wheel its a bit dull for him.

This is going to be unreal when its built......

Must be good knowing at the end that you'll be driving a car that every little bit has been built by yourself from scratch.......

One question tho....

When thinking about building something like this where would you start from design wise?

Cheers, I only say this as I work on aircraft as a painter, and have seen/heard of over 2 tonnes of paint on one jet

admittidly not the size of a car, but you get my drift...

Im sorry but looking at that jig with 3 sides and a roof, its madness, purely insane to attempt to do this.......

......yet, so exciting in the same breath.

I seriously cannot see how on earth you begin to place things out such as, height of transmission, engine, suspension. . etc
Truly astonishing but we all know Andy and team are more than capable on this.

you best keep this thread documented to the hour Carlo....its a different league now, hardly a bloody restoration,rebuild or a poxy project...

its the making of the car Ford need to build.
