Nice entry level car to get someone into the series, does not look like it will need much work to get it upto blue book standard.

I'd hope it already is blue book spec as it last raced in 2008 lol..

IIRC thats the legendary Ian Moon tasmin challenge car.

True but there have been a few changes, plus stuff goes out of date.

I hope to be taking both cars to oulton as his nibs is taking his ards next tuesday at snetterton. We will be doing his first trackday next monday (snett of course) in his fiesta finesse, should be a laugh. No way am i letting him loose in the vx turbo !!!!!!!!!!!!!. We could use the transit connect diesel with live rear axle and leaf springs but alex is fussy about what he drives.

Working 14 hours a day means i can only glue it at weekends hopefully i will get finished by next weekend then round to matts to make sure everything is where it should be, then out with the roller for a quick paint up and some big biff gone stickers. Rockingham hopefully but not certain yet so i may get the taz out instead.
