Yea needs a good run though. Finished the brakes today, just need the prop shortning a bit and the mk2 escort flange welding to it then balanced, got to find someone to do that yet. Yes will be going to some meets, hopefully people will like it. Ive uploaded the spec now.

WRC spoiler a no no if im being honest, car looks spot on but the vents,possibly put the lower valence white aswell, also because it runs a c20let makes it more special, different.

See this as a sign. The cosworth-gods are angry with you for putting a wauxhall-engine in it.

Sacrilege init, cosworth was my first choice, but needed to many mods to the bulk head as this Grp4 shell was built originally for an XE engine. Always had cosworths, nine in total i think! awsome engines,
