I was going to make one but ended up paying £290 including vat and carrage from a web site called mrk 2 mania it works i would recomend asking to get the back support a little bit longer.

Saved me a weekend of fabrication and its a realy nifty bit of kit

I don't have a high enough roof to turn it right over but its good enough to get it at a 45 degree angle. its designed for a mrk 2 escort but it dose fit. The bar at the back that supports the car could use with a few more inches eather side. Ive been working under it ok

 

[gibbo s14]

cool dude ill send them a email about them cheers

I have been fixing the pasanger side sill had the usual uk rust and its took a bit of time to repair i will have the body repaired and the seam welding done this weekend. a few holes to fill so till i have some more exciting progress here is my latest buys from driftworks

 

[CMD 307]

Got a lot of welding jobs out of the way got a bit side tracked.

Cut and trial fitted the dash. stearing collum and old stearing wheel

Trial fitted seat and harnesses to try and get an idea of ware the hooks will go.

I also had a look at ware the hydro hand brake will go i will make a bolt in mount for this not sure if im going to go for a 600mm one or stick with the drift works one

Will be looking to send the dash away to get flocked. Any one know of someone who does it in scotland???
