    you have to remember though that it wont be designed to go fast, so you will probably end up breaking it or crashing it because it handles like it drives on ice or wont stop

    i suppose of you do it to a fiesta sport or whtaever they are called it might be better.

    Tbh pick a good hatch then do it, i have a mate who has supercharged a 306 gti and it has 391 bhp.

    Its a much better car than the ford and he has changed all the main parts as they cant handle it, and i can say that they are quicker than probably any fezaa

    its the 1.6 fez Si, and i will be changing everything so it will work and handle well, when its done properly i should get bout 300bhp, i could get more, but dont really want anymore than that, its getting the 2.0conversion soon from a mk1 mondeo which is roughly 130bhp and has already got cossie brakes up front, and will be fitting a ERST gearbox. so back to the thread has anyone seen this guide or not, will just give it a go if not, will post pic when i get round to doing it.

    So you don't know how to make them but you're going to sell them on eBay?

    Pick a style of gauge that matches the interior/dash lights first of all.

    Using fibreglass make the pod, then trim it to match.

    You'll find what you're trying to make is usually out there already though. I know there's a guy in the States who makes A-pillar pods very well.
