Just a few pics of my new car.

 

Needs a fair bit of work to interior and electrics but what a base to start from.

 

Will be adding more pics as I get items sorted.

 

Also the alloys are for sale, think there new not a mark on them.

Its prity quick with 400 bhp and 460 lb/ft of torque driving the rear wheels.

 

When I drove it back I floored the throttle at 60mph in third on the motorway and rear tyres lit up in a cloud of smoke.

 

Was as eye opener lol as my first rear wheel drive car

 

Just getting used to it, the six paddle clutch is kind of on and off with nout between

did you pay the full 9k for that then? i remember when it got built. nice car. looked over it at ford fair. was about the same time i was thinking of doing my cabby. but already spent 9k on mine and i couldnt justify spending that much more money to convert it.

 

you should put that on the club stand this year

Not a fan of bodykits so i'm not going down that route :smile:

 

Thinking of removing the front and rear RS splitter and bib spoilers as i have never liked them.

 

Plans are sort the electrics and interior out first.

 

I've got RS Diamond cut 7 spokes on my other cab which will be going on this in 16inch size as the 17's are just to big.

 

My other Cab will be up for sale soon. Its has a big spec of parts. Mint recaro interior. Solid shell. It just needs a respray as its looking tired.

 

Payed less than 9k for it. Previous owner spent around 22K excluding labour. He bought the car converted but without a engine and other major parts. I would hazard a guess if you had to build one now to this spec it would probably cost around 30K to build.

 

Thinking of attending some shows this year and are looking for a club stand to display it on
