photos say it all, in hindsight wish i bought a better car to start with but thats life. i like a challenge..
originally had plans with a pinto but now with an st170 on jenveys , link ecu retaining vvt , gaz shocks all round, wilwood 4 pots gartrac pedal box , full trim etc. went the complete opposite to how people tend to build them nowdays ( retaining full chrome, colour that i have never seen a mk2 in - no its not beige its something else from the ford range
, full trim in lairy colour, 6" revs on proper tyres etc) even has probably the best heater i have had in any of my cars lol.
anyway i still have to finish some bits on it, so will keep it updated ish as and when
