must admit Ben it's not my cup of tea as I like total originality and there could be an argument for the fact that a car that has had so much modification wether it be body wise or engine/runnung gear is no longer the original factory produced car and is therefore only a tc or whatever on the paperwork but that's just my opinion and I must say it's a very impressive job and you have obviously spent a lot of time making sure it is done right and yes it will certainly be a one off and well done for that and one other thing at least you used a tc

I'm more that just a bit jealous of the zetec conversion, I'd love one but its too expensive for me. You have given me a kick up the backside too get some work done on the engine conversion on my estate and I'll give you a drag race in the summer!

Cheers Matey! You will have to get it down here and we can compare notes! The Zetec is not that expensive to convert if you use the early fuel injection manifold and circuit bend the origional ECU! I just wanted to do it to the full extent first off !! =)

Thanks Stu!! Don't get me wrong I like a standard car but I just like to be different and building it the right way first time. Oh and TC for the WIN!

Aha, Just wait until you see what I'm upto at the minute, all I'm prepared to say at the moment is it includes a Rover B.R.M., a L.T.77, AND a 1971 T.C. saloon, which I've already turfed the Dreaded 'B' series into the nearest skip I could find! :twisted:
Nice red quilted leather interior, for that original '70's look!!
And A GENUINE ATLAS/S.T. L.S.D.
Oh and a set of five GENUINE S.T. alloy wheels!!
I think T.C. could well stand for Twin Cam, I'm just not a ForMoCo man myself!! :roll:

Santa Pod Anyone?

Bout time decent money was spent on a Marina! Yes very keen. In your calculations have you worked in the Raceline Sump, Vented Disc Brake Kit? Add another grand to that would you?!
