Awesome pics, car looks phat on those wheels. I have a cossie-kitted saff with the same engine myself but 4x4 drivetrain which is not very usable for drifting, but on snow i love it!

Wellers, maybe a drop/tart up. Doesn't really need much though, the thing is a weapon!

I know mate! The red one is probably going down to your neck of the woods tomorrow though! Got a guy flying up for it!

Sad news on the Fiesta...... MOT time, and we found some real nasty rot around the rear sills, gutted
Trace needed a runner pronto so we couldn't really justify taking it on as a project. Sold it to a local guy who's gong to fully sort it not long ago...

lol that'll be a no to selling them to me then!

on a rough guess mate, how much did the entire project cost you roughly? i like the sound of the TD stuff although its getting bloody hard to get cars unless you're buying a BMW or old Nissan these days!

how much did it set you back? (excluding taking the tyres from lochgelly tyre dump of course, youve been found out! )

Just as much as you want to spend really. Mine could have be done for less than half what it cost easy if I didn't get all tarty with Cossie body bits etc...

Weld the diff, chop the springs, strip it out, used bucket & harness.... sorted!
So it can be done for peanuts really....

Alright Fraggle?!

You see you and the Omega in the current and last Total Vauxhall?

Sad to see the red one go, but the Black one was too good a deal to pass up considering how much more spec it has. Just a shame it looks a bit rougher these days
