welcome

looks good

cheers guys,
i've got a few more plans for it still to come
i'm having the engine from the rs1800 phil just broke and to try and tidy it up in a few places like rear arches, skirts and bumpers and general up keep
quite fancy a cosworth brake upgrade and found a nice rear arb rear axle with discs on it
after that i think it's nearly how i want it apart from one shots and a heated screen. then i will call it done
should also be on the stand at fitp as well

good work

this has all been done on a very tight budget so far as well

just need to find a ecu for the rs1800 engine then that can go in

good luck mate

love your car mate, so gutted about the xr3i cabriolet in the scrap yards ecu had already gone would have been perfect
