Here is the front view showing the 7 grill made from 1/8" brass rod. The grill behind it is a cookie cooling rack painted black.

1300cc British MK2 escort with 4spd and 58 blasting HP. It is definatly not a speed demon. It is a book build clear down to the donor car. RHD made in Britian. I want to put more HP in it but funds and space under the bonnet are tight. Miata engine would be a tight fit. Love to go BEC. Still debating. I'm not a speed demon but I want more ponys, Russ

Very nice Locost "by the book" you have there. Even with the low HP numbers, it still has to be a lot of fun. I remember reading about a guy a few years ago that showed up at Run and Gun with a corolla based Locost with the 70 hp 3TC motor and pretty much cleaned up at the autocross event.
