thanks lads! its a 1800 cvh out of an 88 sierra, sierra running gear, mk 2 escort rack, extended sierra column, hand built chassis, homemade wishbones & rear uprights and many other cannibalized parts from a clio, mini, mk1 transit, defender etc!! its our college project so none of us were brave enough to go all out and see how fast it'l go until it was assessed!
it'l be a track day toy for a little while as getting it tested and then taxing a brand new chassis for the road costs waaaaay over the odds!
