    Default Project: cosworth

    Decided to start off with a nice simple Idea, so I decided to base the mods theme around fords sierra cosworth's, the basic idea is to have the case covered in a carbon fibre effect and the front to be mostly black mesh with a genuine cosworth badge somewhere,the side panel is also gonna be a bit different in that it wont have a window but mesh instead. the lights inside will be blue to match the ford badge, anyways heres some pics

    This is the computer its being built for


    The case in bits ready to be painted (excuse the mess, going through all the junk and deciding what im doing with my car)


    The car im basing the mods around

    always wanted to put a rotating camshaft in a comp that actually does something (or looks like it is). and you just happen to have one lying there...possibilities?

    Hey. I was going through a shoebox of stuff I have earlier and found me a nice Ford Badge (Not a Cosworth badge, it was actually from a Ford Escape), and I figured you might want it. PM me if you do.

    How are you going to use the radio?

    I've got a mod idea based round a Mark 1 Escort with a Pinto engine in development so I'll be eager to see how this turns out.

    If you want better photos, rest the camera on the edge of a table or against the corner of the wall. That way you can tilt it where you need it to go without the shakes.
