Hi Ben,
I would never sell my world car, it took me too long to research and build it, we are doing the SMC stages at Weeton Army Camp on the 30th March, the zetec sunbeam is making its debut then too. Business commitments and other projects keep me away from competing myself, but i am trying to make a concerted effort this year...lol.....
There are plans in the pipeline for the WRC car and it'll never stop evolving.....
The next project I do for myself will probs be a historic spec MK2, but that will be a long term job as the parts are very expensive...
Some pics below of the other projects we have been playing with in the last few months....
Sunbeam with an XE fitted, jenvey throttle bodies, tran x box, bilstein suspension, quick rack....running Megasquirt Management....etc etc
MK2 N/A Cos, this is a pukka car, quaife box, atlas axle, watts linkage, coilovers, DTA Management etc etc etc, this car was first 2WD car on the Malcolm Wilson Rally....very quick motor...

The car is 99% done...its passed it MOT and we have been doing a few easy miles just bed things in....still no sign of my dash display so we are forced to use the laptop all the time on the road...
The engine bay done on this shot apart from piping up the air injectors which is done now....we have located the air injectors as close to the capsule as we could.
Laminova coolers all piped, the car uses 4 laminova's on the g/box, front diff, power steering and engine.....
The carbon heat sheild looks pretty but I think we'll be swapping it for a titanium version, all the other heat management is ugly but extremely necessary, we've used Nimbus right down the front of the engine bay and on under the car.
We commissioned all the diffs over the easter holidays and all the controls now work a treat, we have yet to actually map the systems which each enable you to use upto 4 caliberations.
Work dependant we'll be shaking the car down in the next 3 - 4 weeks once we've had the engine maps for fuel, ignition checked.
The other overriding factor with this car is its weight and i cant wait to see how much it weighs.
Last pic of it with the ride height set and the mud flaps on.....
Thanx for all the kind comments....i'll but myself a decent camera eventually

Ive never got around to corner weightinhg the car, the overall weight was 1190 kg with the kevlar doors and 1/2 a tank of fuel, 1/2 tank in the WI reservoir....
