Re: Fiesta Track Car winter rebuild
Argh gutted I didn't get time to come out with you as a passenger on Sunday mate. Only just seen this thread and I can say that in the flesh the build is stunning - a credit to you!
My name is Alex. I used to have a Capri. I don't anymore. But I'm still called Capri.

Ahh bummer mate. Still, I should be up at Knockhill in June so if you're coming along to that, we'll make it happen!
Yeah was a grand day out tbh; I always enjoy Crail if the weather's kind to us like that! It's always busy but a great location and nice to see a few cars that aren't on the usual show circuit down south!

Have you got any pictures. Your current bottom rad hose? I'm getting a batch of proper ones made by Roose incorporating the standard water rail used on a mk1 focus to tidy the engine bay

Looks great, but definitely think you should have the cage painted! Satin black or something along those lines?

Re: Fiesta Track Car winter rebuild
Good question about the focus or fiesta, no contest on track , the Fiesta wins hands down, didnt like the Focus on trcak sterring was too light and suspension was a bit soft, BUT.....on the road the Focus is absolutely immense, best car ive ever owned, I sold my Escort Cosworth after i got a drive of one, and bought one 2 months later
Jon thanks for the comments, and Ive got the copyright on the footplates , so no copying
Kris be good to catch up again mate, I think we will be down at Santa Pod for Central DAy this year, not sure wether ill be bringing the car , but may still do, depends wether IMSY finishes the FIEVO in time. But Im doing a few track days this year and already booked and paid for Croft , Kames, Knockhill and Ford Fair

no worries,i need some thing a bit more sturdy on the floor to bolt the pedal box too . would be good to see the fievo go up the strip at the pod
