It all started like this in 2009......here its only got a roll cage, one of the first trials......it needed to be stripped......here the interior still original and intact as it was in the UK (belonged to Westy):

Then lots of more modifications were carried out here in Malta:
Gaz coilovers,
The engine was stripped and rebuilt, balanced the flywheel (lightweight & chromemolly) and crank, ACL racing caps, PEC con rods, ported gas flowed head (stage4), new rings, high comp Wossner pistons, Jenveys with 90mm trumpets, raceland exhaust, Hydro Kent Cams + pulleys, omex technology ecu :

The gearbox....Quaife...with Peugeot Sport clutch diff:

The car at hill climb competition on various hills throughout Malta:

My best mates Golf mk2 together with my Saxo (superimposed by a professional photographer....great shot:

an over-steer which i managed to control and hit nowhere.....was lucky i must say:

That looks awesome!! Properly serious bit of kit and it looks amazing! Where did you get your rear brace from??

Thanks! I bought the rear brace off a guy on ebay! He had it in his Fiesta!
