I do love to see a nice bit of fabrication porn...keep the pics coming. What engine will this run?

 

Mk2 focus rs engine .bmw box . Cosworth rear 👍

 

Getting there now

 

Love your work as always matey.

 

I saw some of your posts on instagram, and it all looks mighty impressive. I know it's mega hard work, and very skilled, but you must stand back at the end of each build and smile especially if you get to drive all these wonderful cars.

 

Guessing the tunnel is from the same model of car the box is from?

 

No it's cosworth tunnel box fits in easy

 

It's looking really good andy wots happening with the mk2 escort has it been put aside for the time been ?

 

It's sat in a shed at me mates 😔 To busy with others
Mate chopping me focus up next for wrc rear

 

Wouldn't say it's hard work mate . This one isn't mine hopefully il get a drive of it mind 👍Yes I post mostly on Instagram

 

Started mocking up the column an servo today

 

 

How many build hours does something like this take ?

 

To do just cosworth conversion around 120 hours but this
Is taking a rs engine an bmw box so I have extra mounts to make
We're as the cosworth stuff bolts in

 

Made a start on the front turrets this evening had the rings laser cut An the added the 1" lip . Rolled the sheet metal make the in fill . Mess about a bit more tomorrow evening

I like the logo on the tubing underneath, a nice detail.

Looks like you have a nice clear open set up to work as well, which is very nice.

 

great work pal hope you keep on with the updates on this looking forward to seeing it progress nice choice on engine will be nice to see something different than a cossie engine being used

We just waiting on the two gear boxes been joined
Together .so I probably build a wrc rear cradle while I wait

 

It's a shared work shop so sadly I can only
Work on one car at a time so not good really

 

Been busy else were this week .but got seat mount

Stock seats, so keeping the sleeper look, which is brilliant

 

Awesome work mate

 

Really great work Loving the updates, keep em coming

I'm going to start my RWD ST170 build next year, but am going English axle 5 linked for simplicity, but it will mean more out of the boot floor I guess.

Have a low mileage motor an RX8 box, and the axle already, and going for Focus Mk1 RS hubs and brembo disk and calipers on the front end. Won't be up to your standard though.

 

Boot floor and rear chassis legs would have to be
Modded at more swing on a solid axle bit more work
But should do the job

 

Yer it will look stock just rwd

 

Cheers Matt

No updates as waiting on a gear box but making a wrc cradle or two while I wait
