Blue one looks best for my eye, electric so to say
Also that 2 door saloon is something incredible, car will be real head turner, I'm sure of that
Good luck to project, I believe this will take bit longer to complete than your previous projects? Not that project car will ever be complete, but I guess you get idea

They are the coilovers from my grey one, i need the inserts shortened to get the car as low as i want it with some travel left, so i took them off to do work to them, just used them to make the brackets up for the brembos.
Yeh just wondered if people wanted to say their colour preference.

hehe, I was thinking 2dr saloon once I had a roll cage and other bits sorted - so you're re-shelling the 3dr stuff then?

No mate i'm changing the rear end on this shell, its much easier and safer, as a saloon is the same underneith all the way to the back edge of the boot floor.

Looks great mate, I vote for the electric blue... what about the V70R/S70R blue colour, or is that what it's supposed to replicate? This will be awesome!

Excellent Stuff, I did wonder when the big reveal was going to be
Its deffo got to be the yellow/Ford signal amber (you know the colour

)
How are you planing on mating the engine to the rest of the transmission or will it bolt to the 360 gear?
