ROBIN HOOD S7???

There is a part built Robin Hood S7 on ebay, is it worth the bother? looks like it uses the standard cortina suspension, can it be changed to coil overs? item 4575114182 if anyone wants a look

I have one of these sitting in my back yard. I bought it as a donor because it had cortina front suspension and some reasonably good four spoke Ford wheels. Apart from that, I have to say it's the worst deigned piece of crap I have ever set eyes on. Who on earth in their right mind would use the whole Cortina front subframe on a 7 clone? It looks utterly awfull. The car is built from sheets of metal held together with about 10 thousand little nut and bolts. It's just horrible.

On the plus, the rear bodywork is a reasonable fit on a +4" locost with a bit of fettling.

As I now managed to aquire a set of wheels and Cortina uprights anyway, I want to get move it on. It has a 1600 Pinto, 4 speed box, cortina rear axle, cortina front suspension, a set of rather knackered clamshell wings, the rear GRP bodywork (tatty but salvagable). Also a windscreen that might suit a +4" build. PM me if interested.
