Thankfully I'm only taking this pi$$. The disappointment is that there are people out there that take the pi$$ for doing things like that to perfectly nice vehicles

haha,

I wont butcher the car, im trying to find out as much as i can before i decide anything.

So far it seems that Image only produced cars for a few years between 1975-79 i think.

Im still trying to find out what it should look like, but i think the bodywork is original ff spec except the rear wing, this must be an addition for hillclimbs along with the twin 40's and the wheels as i believe it should have steel wheels for ff.

Another couple of pictures for you all...





Cheers

the one thing i remember about formula fords is there were no spoilers or wings permitted so the rear wing and the front spoiler have been fitted afterwards.

if your thinking going for a bike engine i would advise the busa 1300 there better than the zzr1400, my mates got one in his mini and it goes!!

What Thom said!

I'm quite interested to know what is going on with the F40 tbh, my mates dad has one and bloody hell its insane.

Went for a drive from Marlow to Nettlebed in it got the back out a couple of times i couldnt stop grinning, its done 1700 miles!!

The plan for the F40 is to now sit the body over a Lotus Esprit chassis, then make the floor pan to fit. Then i have to take molds from the complete car. Should make it a simple build as it will only be 12 bolts to attatch the body to the chassis just as the Esprit is!

Sounds awesome, i would love to have an Esprit at some point in my life.
Would be good to see a progress thread on this
