I know its not going anywhere on them at the moment but the front wheels are on backwards tread pattern wise 
Good luck with the project anyway! Seems like a bargain!

How much did you pay?
It's been regged, that means it's been sva'd, so must've been fully built before and then stripped...did the seller give any
history?
Good luck.

If you read the PH add, the bodywork is not original to chassis.....

type 9 and a pinto probably maybe an xflow but i want it to be quick and to get 150bhp from a pinto is alot cheaper then getting it from an xflow so
im not sure
one of these though because i know alot fo ford guys who will be able to give me a hand and i dont really want a bike engine lol

I wouldnt dismiss a Zetec if you are looking for 150bhp or so. If you can sort out the sump cheaply enough a standard tune 2.0l zetec with bike carbs
and megajolt will give you all the power you are looking for and then some with loads of scope for more in the future and may not be any dearer than a
rebuilt Pinto

Nice project. I like the styling of Westfields.
If i was building again and wanted Ford power id go straight for a zetec over the Pinto. Now ive got Pinto i plan to keep it for simplicity but for
you id seriously consider Zetec.
Looking at bodywork again you can see its just plonked on. Shame the arches are part of the tub. A new body on it would of course make it look like a
new car and be very smart.

the reason im leaning towards pinto is ive already got most of the bits and just need to find a 2.1 bottom end and a zorst manifold and im done ...
ive got a head on the way big valve ported polished fr32 cam alll new everythign cost over 600 and im getting it for 250 ive got a dgas jetted for a
2.0 in the garage already and i know what im doing with it ...

Check the V5 carefully to make sure it's legit, other than that it looks like a good place to start from, especially as you won't need to
worry about SVA.

This may be worth keeping an eye on if you fancy building the bottom end yourself as the basis for a rebore - its got the required 205 block, and has
a spare gearbox thrown in.
