project:UFO
recently a mate of mine bought k18 ufo off of carbonboy 67,shaun bought the shell over for us.



the shell is rolling but thats about it
lots to do
the suspesion on the car has to go back to shaun so today we fitted a new set of gaz coilovers


next up way a set of st170 front brakes


we are trying to make this car my mates and not shauns 'old' car buy fitting parts we have picked but as the shell has been modified to take certain parts its in our interest to buy them off shaun
one pro alloy fuel cell


plus a set of the many euro rear lights shaun has

we also fitted the new wheels too. comp mo's with toyo 888's

the car will be a 2ltr zetec turbo which im building which hopefully will be running around the 250-280 bhp mark.
as you can see we are in the early stages of the build but hope for the car to be on the road and used in anger around ford fair next year. updates to follow

Re: project:UFO
I might buy it back once its finished
Good luck with it mate, I still have lots of lovely parts here waiting for you and Nathan
Glad its gone to somebody who will carry on with it, It came to a point where I realised I didn't have the time or space and latterly the movtivation to carry on with it.
Can't wait to see it finished now, chop chop
