This weekend I welded the 1 1/4" tube that locates the rear tranny mount. After that I was able to cut out the left side sheet metal. I have a BIG pile of metal left over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

QUOTE(lapuwali @ Dec 9 2004, 10:02 AM) I'm pretty sure the SHO Festiva was made by Chuck Beck, of 550 Beck Spyder fame. No official involvement from Ford. They never got it as sorted as they'd like, mostly because of difficulties in getting the fwd suspension working on the back (just moved the whole thing: engine, transaxle, axles, uprights, brakes, etc. from front to back). It made some magazine appearances as the SHOgun, and perhaps they even sold a few, but it was never a hot sales item. Perhaps Ford did their own project, though I'd expect it was done by Ford UK, not Ford US. Hillclimbs have never been the thing here they are over there, nor has rallying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I remember this as all of the car mags had articles about it. Neat idea, sort of a copy of the mid-engined Renault R5 turbo but not quite as sophisticated. |
