I am in the process of starting my build.
I currently have a Ford Focus I build a few years ago with a turbo 5.3. Due to NC inspection laws with the car being a 2003 I cannot get it inspected each year. Plus I have alway wanted a lotus 7.
I have decided to use all the running gear and electronics off the focus and use them in a locost build.
I am trying to figure out how to widen the engine bay approx. 3 inches and lengthening it approx. 2 inches without changing the shape too much. I will be using the kinetic nose.
Using the 8.8 out of the focus with a 4 link.
I am ordering the tubing later this week. Probably 1.25inch.
I know this car will be blasphemy, overpowered and not anything close to a pure lotus seven but don't bash me too hard. haha
Here are some pics of the focus in its current state.
