Well this one came up cheap so it was a no brainer tbh conner. Plus im not to fussed with the weight saving and if i even want to take the cage out and have an interior i still can, bit if i cut the roof out i would have to keep then cage in it forever!

Bit of an update;
Got the car back today after having the gearbox mount put in and having the inner wings modded to accept the Zetec and Focus RS box. Also had the crossmember done and part of the front panel.
Ive just dropped in a spare silvertop that we used to mock it all up. The engine is sitting forward as the rear stablizer isnt fitted yet.

Coming along....
Thought it was meant to be ready for central day... ?! Only joking...
Only an idea, I know the engine has a big valve head so a small turbo might run out of puff further up in the revs but a top notch T3 will make 300 hp on a cossie will it not?! For ultimate spool up could this not be a choice for you?
Only at marks a while ago i asked about a cvh powered car they had in either for mapping or they built the car and it was spec'd with a t3 and the aim was 300hp.. I thought it was small for the aimed power but in theory it should work...
Keep up the work though... it will be worth it in the end!
