its time to revive this thread! this car is still in the project stage but everything has changed!! the other car took priority but now that one is done so i have no excuse!
so anyway now this project is back in the spotlight, since Cedric there is my daily driver i wanted to do something different with bugsy....so i thought what could i do to make it stand out more than cedric....ive decided to go down the track day/sprint/rally kind of route so i apologise to the purists and to the people who dont find this to their taste but basically its having a full roll cage with bucket seats, uprated suspension and brakes and a very nice powerful little engine
when i say little i mean its bigger than the a series but for its size its just an insane idea to go ahead with but hey it will be different!! The engine of choice which i have already purchased is a 2.0 vauxhall c20xe redtop!!
this will run through a ford type 9 into an escort axle.
i understand it will take quite some modification to fit as in the bulkhead crossmember and radiator clearences and the like but i will make it work
so i'll try and keep this as updated as possible as i find the time to work on it, thanks for looking and opinions are very welcome
