Fast Ford – March 2024

What have you got lying about in your shed? A lawnmower, perhaps, and a cardboard box of Christmas decorations?
Maybe a few tins of paint and an old Black & Decker Workmate, possibly the remnants of a home-brew kit that someone gifted you a decade ago and you never got round to having any success with…?
What if there was a knackered Mk3 Focus 1.6 in there? I’ll be honest, you could stick me in that particular shed and it’d take me a very long time before I got to thinking: ‘You know what? I reckon the running gear from a Mk2 Focus Touring Car would fit in that.’
And yet that’s essentially what’s happened here. Harnessing the elemental chaos of the cosmos itself, Lewis Denslow and his dad tore that non-runner down to its base elements and, quite frankly, got a little bit carried away.
What resulted was a hardcore racer with genuine Touring Car parts, and the level of engineering innovation and ingenuity here is simply gob-smacking.
Elsewhere in the mag, we’ve got the typically diverse board of fare: Fiesta fans are well catered for as we have Devine Autotech’s insanely manic Mk7 track build, a stylish Mk8.5 for the show crowd, and a Mk2 XR2 jam-packed with mayhem thanks to its turbocharged Zetec. We have a couple of properly weird classics in the form of the Misfit (you’ll know this Anglia rod from the show scene, and may have been wondering where it disappeared to) and a Mustang II, which everybody hates but we reckon that needs a rethink. There’s a daily-driven Mk2 Focus that pays tribute to the late, great Ken Block, and we also have an exquisite pair of Escort Cosworths owned by a couple of properly cool dudes. Plus there’s a tech guide to ITBs, motorsport news, and a look at the upcoming show season. Something for everyone there! And be sure to meet us back here next month, when we’ll be going bananas for Sierras…
