I've owned two T5's and I would love another.......I've always fancied making a touring car version.

I look forward to following the threads with the progress. What sort of track stuff do you do by the way?
Hi Stuart

I did start out trying to find a white saloon and do a btcc look alike but this came along instead i have a few track days planned and a few other events later this year project thread coming
