Gear box is a type 9 5 speed with 1st to 4th straight and 5th helical for comfy cruising.

Cheers for the positive comments.

Yes i do drive her the way she is supposed to be driven.Her first track and drag day is coming up in june.I hope i can keep my red mist in check and stay out of the kitty litter !

I was hoping to bring it over to a show in the uk during the summer. Possibly ford fair in august but i,m not a lover of one make fanatics..........I should really check out pistonheads show ? (i presume there is one if my memory is good)I prefer a mix of makes and machinery.

Thanks for the comments.

I would love to take it to rally day at castle coombe but i think you have to be invited to take your car ?

Don,t know about trax but i,ll check it out.Cheers for the nod on these.

The colour is a subaru stock colour which i just saw on a car.(Don,t tell the ford purists)

"Also what is with the exhaust header, ceramic coated?"

The exhaust manifold is just spray painted in white high temp paint !
