Love it, reminds me of my old 106 cosworth, the one car I wish I never sold.

Is that Carl Grimsley I sold my 106 Cosworth to from Leicester? If so have you seen it now? The guy you sold it to in Scotland has seriously gone to town on it! Wish I'd have built it to that spec from the start! biggrin

Yes that's me fella.

Yes the guy offered to sell it back to me a while ago but at around £30k I was a few quid short, seems it's been a no ex spence spares job and done really well, I have a lot of photos of it should you like to see them.

It will be next year now, I've gone a bit further with it than what I first planned, it will be worth it going much lighter

Bit of a update I'm still tinkering with the c2



Alloy boot floor fitted


Rear subframe for diff about made still a couple of braces to go in, I did buy a subframe but I'm using a different diff so had to make my own subframe,

Twin plate clutch to go in


Head is now built and on block

Good to see it back sunny side up and sill stands are well worth the effort of fitting,

Oh the engine is here too, turbo is just loose but I had to see it on
