With the body posts fitted, wheels & tyres now mounted and the bumpers fitted, the chassis is now completed.
I have fitted the 21mm front bumper, this needed to be trimmed down further to allow the body to fit correctly. I fitted the 53mm rear bumper, this needed a bumper foam added to again space correctly. The body is now a snug fit with no flapping around the bumper area due to the size of the body gaps between the bumpers. Now on to the best bit. The Transit SUPERVAN Body...... ![]() Click to enlarge pictures...

They really do look brilliant..👍
Incidentally, you never put final photos of your Escort Cosworth build up.! I was really looking forward to those. Is it possible to add them.?

So this week I have been working on the body cutting it out and getting it how I want it to sit on the chassis. I have trimmed the arches down so there is no lip on them. I want the arches on the tyres. I have also added a additional 0.5mm spacer behind the wheel pin to extend the axle out. There is still enough play in the axles when the wheels are locked up.
Here are a few shots of the body on. I still have a little dremelling to do on the arches but almost there with the fit. It will give you an idea of how it will look.... I will also be using magnetic body mounts so no holes in the body. I will post pictures of them also......
