I wouldn't tell people I'd won the lottery, but there's be signs.

This bloke restores Fords and builds classic touring cars for a living.

Many, many years ago, Paul was the man to go and see if you needed Cosworth parts but weren't too fussed where they came from, if you know what I mean.

Wasn't sure where to put this. My mate fancied swapping out his rusty subframes on his MK2 RS. A few "whilst I'm there" jobs and it's escalated a little.

Crackin looking unit he has.

Mate of mine has this in his shed, wheels haven’t turned in close to 8 years. I’ve suggested a few times I’ll give it a run for a few days, must float it again coming into the summer months.

Built it himself in his garden. Can easy fit 7 cars in there. He's thinking about raising the right hand side and putting another ramp in too.

I came to say it was probably that. Paul Linfoot has been banging on about them for years now, so anyone in the cossie world should know they are on borrowed time. They aren't even that expensive, or had to swap out.
