Ex BTCC car with willy engine project

[car13]

Is your mate the guy that sold the yellow alan menu r19 chamade to mick over on rsc then? Just been reading about his new project now and he said the bloke who had it found a dc cook laguna.

Both projects look stunning!

yeap that Ewart, Ive been racing with him for the last 4 years we started in metro's hes last car was a little special
metro gti with VHPD K series engine with c/r dog box 192 bhp weighing in at 702 with driver, mad car it was the fastest metro racing in UK and would mix it with full race ZR and MGF and do elises etc, his day job is driving wagons so he enjoys his track toys.

We bought the 19 to rebuild but after I had tracked down a chape with some centre lock alloys for him, the car was offered and couldnt say no, so 19 had to go, sounds like mick will run it as show/track toy so 2 cars get rescued for gargaes.....

Top stuff mate. He mentioned that the f7r with headwork and throttle bodies out of his road r19 would eventually be going in there so both cars should have interesting powerplants. Ah he also mentioned the metro and that he had a go in it said it was very quick indeed! also mentioned a 6r4?

Will be keeping a close eye on both projects as this was the era of the "proper" btcc cars imo went down hill from then on.

Ewarts boss is into his rally cars, he has a 6rt best car on gods earth
and a couple of Escorts first mk2 with 300 bhp redtop and a work in progress mk1 o to have the money....

Ron is a good bloke lets Ewart store his car in warehouse and use workshops so not bad, we are meeting up this weekend to strip 19 and collect the 'guna should be an interesting build.

Will set a sit up for updates etc, still gives me the urge to get a 2lr for the 5

Do it, im thinking of rounding my capacity up a bit! That guys workshop sounds very interesting!

Yeah they run a fleet of 40 wagons they have adecent pit for working on trailers ot tractor units, but a nice post ramp for the rally cars.

We get to use it now and again on a sunday when they are shut so cant complain.
