            First track day at Sandown went off without a hitch. Car was perfect and didn't have any dramas apart from the weather and the wiper motor crapping itself. Otherwise the car is fucking amazing and is just a beast

            A few little things to sort out like better chair position and mirrors

            Here's the pics and vids - Id love some feedback

            Cheers

            Matt









            Lots of brake dust...

              Looks great, sounds great.

              Have you stopped grinning yet?

              Given how wet it was here Tuesday, that was one hell of a day for a shake down.

              Good to see it back on the trailer in one piece.

              Do you know why the wiper motor died? I'm sure you've already got it sorted but if not I have one you can have.

              Shaun.

                Yep, still grinning....

                Not 100% why it died. We had wired it up direct to the motor with 12v and just the high speed setting. I'll take you up on that offer mate as a spare would be great. I'll be in touch

                Cheers

                      Hi Mate, We got 135hp atw but this was on a very conservative tune and we didn't rev it too much


                      We had it dyno'd at 189hp at the flywheel

                      Cheers

                      Matt

                          Hi Matt
                          First off, good job on the build, really good looking car and sounds great
                          I was wondering where you bought your kit and did you have choices?
                          Sorry if it's in the thread, I haven't read it all and I'm a little late to the party
                          Cheers

                            Hey mate, thanks for the compliment

                            Kit was from old ford autos

                            They have a few kits available

                            Cheers

                              Last Sunday was Small Ford Sunday for my Car Club. The largest small ford show in the southern hemisphere with 286 small fords braving the 40 degree heat to put on the show

                              I was lucky enough to win best competition vehicle which was a surprise as I wasn't going to enter

                              Keep an eye out for an article in Classic Ford as there will be lots of pics on the show in there

                              Anyways here are a few pics
