Congratulations - what a superb build.
I’d also describe it as a “mature” build in that you’ve paid so much attention to maintainability, durability & balance performance across the drivetrain, vehicle dynamics & safety.

There’s obviously been a mountain of time, money, research & attention to detail.

Only just seen this thread. What a superb car.

I've got a huge soft spot for the Mk1 Focus look. It has aged, in my mind, brilliantly.

Last job before winter. Sadly some bubbling came up, turning out to be the dreaded rust worm working its way through the rolled arch. Luckily only a single section on one arch. All sorted now…

Usual new year jobs, full service and again a repair on the quarter after the gate hit it frown

Just read through the whole thread,what an impressive thing your car is.I cut my teeth back in the day with numerous Escorts etc.I've since been into my Japanese stuff but I'm always looking out at old Ford shenanigans,if I'm honest its things out of the norm that catch my eye and if they've been done properly.This certainly falls well into that bracket,and more than worthy of the magazine features.Very nice work! The car looks great in all the pictures,but have to say the low shots from the rear with the diff lurking there look very very cool.

My favourite pic on my Cossied 205 is the diff hanging down, it just shows there is something lurking that wouldn’t normally be there.

Appreciate the views, thanks! But likewise, the sneaky diff shots are always my favourite too
