Suprised (what is a nice way of saying disapointed) that the engine puts out the figures that it does. No doubt the Fox is a light car but sitting under the bonnet - it looks like a wreckingball.

Have to say though; if i had the money pit. I'd be looking at something like this:

I reckon it looks horrendous. But it appears he has done a fantastic job of building it. A+ for effort & ingenuity but an F for taste. Stick a set of V5s on it & I would give it a C minus.

My car is about the least pure on the forum.
Purity in lots of ways... originality, quality of work etc etc

Except for the work Jake has done on the body.
