Yes got it last night , over the moon with it barrys work is phenomenal , he's selling the focus aswell, and his truck and my mate is away to buy the 3 door I think it's time for him to get the space to build new projects either that or after he sells them all he'll need all the space to put his cash lol

got the boat finished last year but then had trouble with the gearbox so it's been rebuilt now ready to go back on, i'll have it in the water in april hopefully.

i've got another couple of projects on the go, a turbo bike and a ford pop.

i've got an escos now, i'm looking for wheels for it, would like azev a's but can't find any for sale.

i've not used the focus for over a year now, it's been at the back of the garage behind all my other projects, it's only done 400 miles since being built. i'm looking for offers over 20k as i've spent a fortune on it.

Can you go into any more detail on how you made the diff? I assume the case is sealed and oil filled, with an internal flange to take the diff core and an external one to take the sprocket?

How did you work the drive flanges and external bearings?

Car looks excellent!

Hopefully Barry who done it can tell you how he has done this it looks and works great, I know it did cost quite a bit to do the diff, the bearings and sprocket etc was pricy plus the price of a Cosworth diff , I just made a chain guard for it but made it out of Perspex so you can still see it all
