Looks good, can you reach the wheel when strapped in?

So what engine is going in it?

looks nice and clutter free

i presume you reinforced your harness anchor points? the rear seat back is obviously no way strong enough by itself

Looks good. Is the plan to sprint it? Dials look a bit plonked in, what's the plan?

yea i remember. its fiesta yellow (apparently). i do intend to sprint it, my local track is curbrough. The dials have changed, the standard ones are gone and a new panel is fitted.
i need disk brakes for the front, then the coil overs will mount correctly and at the correct angle. its gonna take a while to get it ready but thats the plan.

got my eyes on a custom cages historic cage, and a minispares cross pin diff. carnt afford an lsd yet.

the mounting point is welded to a bar which is then mounted to the boot floor. that will change, as i dont like the way its mounted, i could also do with the space for a bigger fuel tank. the cage has harness bars so il use those.

Thought it was a great looking car.Also nice to see it run to.

Allowing for wind at Pod and considering it was your first go, you should easily get into 13s
