awesome little car can i ask where you bought the hub adapter for vauxhall fitment wheel?

also did you the engine direct off Ford as a crate motor and did it come exactly as in those pictures?

Thanks

Got them from Carnoisseur but no idea what company made them. Sorry.

It come off Ebay but they got it from Ford it was meant for a kit car but they realised they couldn't afford it. It did indeed come exactly as pictured.

I cant believe this car! its AMAZING but not only thats its exactly what me and my mates have said we want to build to race. some suttle changes but the 2.0 black top is the route we have talked about and in a fully stripped out little KA for its cracking handling.

Great project mate and top work.

keep posting and good luck with the racing!
