Is it out of stock on a long lead time

Well that makes my decision easy now then if it won't fit in either style. FW style rear with the V8 style bonnet up front.

OK, done an entry, you can all have a laugh at me trundling round in the eleven but felt I should support, prefer hill climbs but sprints are ok.

Did you have to swap the wheels round to which ever car you wanted to drive?

Thank you for your responses but this forum is clearly going to be a bad influence . I started out thinking I wanted a Full Zetec Kit with around 150 - 170BHP, to try and keep costs and difficulty of build within my grasp. However having read some of the excellent build threads here I'm now contemplating whether to try and go down the starter kit route with a used Ecoboost engine and try to build a Sport 250! Time for a reality check I think. It's my first build and I don't have the knowledge that you all clearly have to be able to source the parts I need that way. I think I will probably try and go down the Duratec route though to avoid future issues with emmisions. I'm not sure if a standard 2.0 Duratec (fiesta ST150 engine) will go in with its original injection, or whether throttle bodies will be required, as that will save me quite a bit of cash, further research required. It would also mean I could start out with about 150bhp, then once I've learnt how to handle that I can add TB's later to get 200bhp. The other advantage over Zetec is that there appears to be plenty of options for more power after that, although I don't think my driving ability could handle more that 200BHP. Anyway, I clearly need to get to a meet and have a look at some of the cars first hand to answer some of my questions. Does anyone know when the next meet in the North West will be so that I can tag along? Also final question from me, does anyone have any pictures of the storage space in the FW rear? I like the styling of it but does is sacrifice what little storage space the standard rear has?

It should indeed; now moved!

Just been emailed to say my Storm Cap has been dispatched.

No excuses now then. Cheers Barny

And now for something completely different........ I'm a fan of the US magazine "Grassroots Motorsports" and almost always like their take on car stuff. Late last year they sponsored a "Show us your shop contest" with three categories - small, large, and commercial. One of the prizes was a welding machine and I would love to be able to weld car projects so I cleaned my place up, took a few photos, wrote a description and sent the whole mess in. I was surprised and pleased to learn that I won the small category and a new welding machine, along with some other cool stuff, is on its way to Bozeman. I look forward to the print article coming out in a few months so I can send a copy to my mom! If you'd like to see the online article you check it out here - https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/ar...ers-announced/ Now it's time to go back into the shop and make it dirty....dirtier maybe? Dave

Oh for heavens sake! The storage thingy arrived today and they’ve cocked up and sent both the wrong side, and a black and red instead of plain black. (Could live with that, but the side thing makes it useless to me!)
