followed the car in the mag when ever there has been an article on it, it is a cool one, used and abused as they should be, good work although I'm really not a fan of the new colour, not very old ford imo, bit "scene" (hate to use the word lol)

Thats just stunning  , liked it in Yellow but absolutely love the grey with the orange wheels/cage. Are those Kirkey seats ?, how do you find those to use ?, always imagined them awesome looking but very uncomfortable. Thanks! Yep, they're Kirkey seats. Surprisingly, they are actually quite comfortable in that they grip you nicely and have have a good seating position. They are a little hard though lol Thanks for posting - won't need to shell out on the mag now to read about it  I'd hope you would buy the mag for more than just my car!  |

Yeah, I know what you mean and with the orange I didn't intend for it to be as 'scene' as it is. The colour is a period shade as it came from a '50s car, but see what you mean. |

Thanks for the comments! Great car ,Seen it at the show ,Is it an RS motor or ST ? It's based on a standard Blacktop Zetec engine, but it's had aftermarket low comp pistons and steel rods fitted. Will be going for a single stage external oil pump and for now a standard head to see if we can crack 400+ bhp without porting. |

Haven't updated this in some time because there's not been much to update! Been working away at the engine build, which became a complicated affair as I've now changed to a Black Top Zetec, but using a custom tensioner set up and Silver Top water pump so no extra pulleys! Big step forward last weekend - been about 2 years since it last moved under it's own steam! Ran it up to temp, and it didn't get hot which is a relief as to make a neater engine bay the rad has been converted to a twin-pass so there isn't hoses everywhere. Checked for leaks and made sure oil pressure was good at running temperature. Nice to see it out the workshop for once too! Still loads to do, but making good progress now     |

looks stunning si , be interesting to c what results you get with standard head as I'm building a blacktop to eventully go in 1 of my mk2s and been trying to decide if its worth getting any head work done or put the cash into a better turbo
