have a good english with LSD , Billy fronts with Princess calipers
new boot,bonnet,seals, polly window kit , and boxes and boxes of bits ,

Have converted the front so the front pannel and wings come off as one piece ,

Just cant decide on engine , cossy is boreing , zetec is to much hastle , maybe a valver ?????????

sounds good mate, silver bubble arched mk1 would look good IMO.

not fancy a pukka pinto or a n/a cossie on throttle bodies?

good luck with the build any pics?

gonna try to keep costs down on this one bud , have spent to much alredy ( 8X13 revolutions aswell )

N/A would be nice but gotta be sure as i dont want to regret it later on , Cossy turbo is a real easy coversion but adds 2.5K to the build straight away ,
