I have been doing a lot of buying and much less actual progress.
I have modified my flywheel to suit a custom arrangement utilising the original Cosworth clutch uprated with 1230kg clamping along with a pinto ring gear.
However, very soon all of this purchasing will make a running car.
I have been fitting a roll cage on top of my original plans and that has slowed progress.
New job and girlfriends are handbrakes too.
I will update with photos as soon as practically possible.

I want to finish it...a lot.
This weekend there will be "movement at the station, for the word is passed around, the Cossie from old sierra will go into the bay."

.....Yes it is close....After this Christmas/New Year break it will be even closer. I will turn the engine over in January. I am just doing the fiddly bits and all the miscellaneous stuff......Oh and the roll cage, something I know will take a whole day to trial fit and have been putting it off.

...It is called the Cossie Virus....There are no cures. It is closely linked with Escortinitis.
