Got torn in about the rear wing and cut a slit down the body line where we are going to widen the wing to accomodate for the wider axle. This has been pulled out 2 inches. The Rostyle steel wheels below will be banded to get that nice fat stance i'm going for. The wheels are the standard that the car came with, 13" by 5.5". This should give the car a standard-ish look and should be quite subtle.
If you guys are interested i like to update on my snapchat, give me an add and show me your car! Snapchat: ryancameron_1

Oh i haven't posted on here in a while haha...
A lot has gone down but not as much as i would have liked, however schoolwork takes priority unfortunately.
Here's some newer photos for you lads.
Welded in some Mk3 Capri 2.0 chassis rails to accept the crossmember and the 2.8l cologne v6 i acquired from an old granada hearse. Who can say they've had a hearse for their second car

Mounted the rear axle on with modified leaf spring mounts (had to move them 5mm out each side) and threw the front crossmember onto that capri chassis rails.

Small update, I have a new passenger side wing, two new arches and two new sills. Also got some sheet metal to tidy up the underneath and anything else that needs it. Not sure what wheels yet. Any ideas from anyone? Have to be 4x108 pcd unless i can get adapters..
This is the engine i am hoping to put in it: 2 Litre Zetec with a 5 speed box. Thanks for looking!

Mocked the axle up and the new arches, stuck a pair of 7J pepperpots on it and either skinnier tires are needed or what we have thought is extending the whole wing out about an inch maybe 2 inches. Kinda like wide arch but with the whole wing. Liking the look of the wheels on this though. Here's the pics -
