2.1 Pinto to replace a 2.1 Pinto that i killed, then i will rebuild the original 2.1 Pinto. Current build has Cosworth rods, V6 pistons, 10.6 to 1 comp and a new Kent RL31 cam.
Emissions are 3.5 CO and 1200 ppm HC on my V5 so anything i put in should pass MOT

I shall be using the fine lump of metal that is the 8v DOHC...what a beast.

Have been thrashing the missus 2.0 Mondy around this week as I am off work & imagining what it would feel like with half the weight The fat old thing likes to rev she does.

Not as far as i would like. I have been working more on the the body panels and doing some mods to my car thats on the road. Work its that good at the moment so im hopping the fund the rest of my new build with selling the body panels. I wont the zerec roadster to be Completely differant with losts more spec. Things like Keyless start, luanch control, ect. will be cool to see your car at detling this year.

DOHC 8v that came with the donor, but I have a 1.6 Zetec JIC. Would prefer the age related plate though.
