Got this a while ago. Will be running a carbed 2.8 v6 and a manual gearbox, Scimitar axle. A nice paint job and some American chrome 5 spoke wheels too.   |

Stipped the engine bay out and trial fitted the engine and gearbox today. Going to sit it as low and as far back as I can. Welding up all the holes and i'll moving stuff around so hopefully it will look a bit cleaner.   |

why scimitar axle?  a 2.3 cortina axle is a straight swap for original. |
| |
theres more to life than mpg & to much power is just enough.

They look really well suited to it!
Are you knocking up some PCD adaptors or redrilling the hubs?

These are 5x4.5", luckily the Scimitar axle is 4x4.5" PCD so it was quite easy to redrill these. I've drawn up new hubs which will replace the stock ones. These were CNC'ed to allow the front wheels to sit inside the arches.  |

Wow, this is going to look lovely. I think We may need to chat about some work on my van No worries, you're welcome over anytime. More progress. Started putting the engine bay back together. All the parts have been cleaned or blasted and then repainted. The wiring hasbeen stripped down to re-route it in a more aesthetically pleasing manner.   Front beam was blasted and painted. Completely stock but renewed all of the brake lines and fitted a 4 pot Wilwood brake kit from Rally Design  |
