My full scale project

[6_4_4]

Hi all, I thought I’d share my full scale project I’m working on, if I had it my way it would be something with a V8 but here in the UK we don’t get a whole lot and the ones we do get are either diesel or have absolutely scandalous road tax charges. Either way I bought a Ford KA which originally had a 1.3l engine producing a might 69bhp, since then though I have put a 1.6l engine in with tuned ecu, still with the 1.3 gearbox, new clutch, alternator, starter, injectors, updated plugs, leads and coil pack, updated suspension, free flowing air filter and exhaust, updated brakes plus braided brake and clutch lines, wheels from a mk2 Ford escort.

 

 

The car now produces 110bhp but only weighs 600-700kg, probably less once the interior is stripped. I still have a bit of welding to do on it to get it road legal.

Cool little hot rod, sounds great and should be a blast to drive.

Got to love small-bore screamers.

Thanks for the feedback guys, the welding is a bit of pain but also I’ve not really done much welding before so that’s kind of new to me, I am debating to find a better condition shell and just transfer everything over.
