Well all running gear now fitted and working. :biggrin:

 

So its time for some body modifications. So I can get some deep wheels on the front ,   :icecream:  I wanted the wing modifications to look factory. :headscratch:

 

First pictures are wide wheels fitted, but as you can see too wide for the wings..

 

Second set of pictures are my second attempt at widening the front wings to accommodate the deep wheels, really happy with the results   :cool:

Two and a half years ago I decided to build a Dodge V8 powered MK3 Cortina. (rofl)
 
This weekend I got to enjoy it on the road for the first time and when and I press the loud!! pedal. ::)
 
I actually laugh out loud 😃

Congratulations Tony,what a milestone to reach,there is something so special about turning the ignition key and hearing a V8 burst into life ,especially when it’s in a car that was never fitted with one from the factory,enjoy ,you have deserved it :thumbsup:
