Only started to post more recently but have been on for a while.
Projects on here are an amazing read, although make me realise ho impoverished I am
I'm well, you? You at FF next Sunday? Think that was last time I see you, at FF last year?

Paint looks good on the Saff, have read your project thread, it'll be worth it when it's all done.
If you do wanna go but save on fuel, you can jump in with me but I'll be leaving about quarter to 5?!
Will have to pop round and see the Cos sometime.

think ive finally found a back panel, blokes letting me know this week.
been messing around with my new series 1 ive just brought but willl start back on this soon, fitted a set of rims back onto it & lowerd the suspension 2 give me sum enthusiam
rims are a perfect offset, they clear inner arches/brakes & supension aswell as clearing the wheelarch lips!

Nice work mate ! Looks like one hell of a task though ! LOL Love the S1 too , the voodoos look sweet on aN S1 ! Keep up the good work fella and keep us all posted !!!
#156
The S1 looks amazing mate, it would be good to make the cos scort look identical to it and get similar plates on so you could confuse the local boy racers with them.

nice project mate, brings back memories of mine, nice to see another mk3 cosworth, had mine 7 year now
what colour you painting it and what you going for in the final look. xr3, 16i, sleeper etc

Nice job on the arch mate, wish I could weld some times but unfortunately my hands are too shaky to try it (would end up with zig zags all over the place if I tried mate) lol
