Slight cheat here as I was meeting Declan to collect some gearbox mounts lol 

She's an animal with a build Xe

Declan Munnelly's car.

An absolute animal.

Famous really. Been in Classic Ford etc

[FrankC]

That’s the one 👍🏼

saw a clip of it on YouTube. Attention to detail, spec and build quality top drawer! 
The only negative is , I don’t own it 🤩

I remember reading about this car in Classic Ford many years ago. 

Love the 7 x 13 Ronal wheels, they sit well in the arches.

They are even better.

Capri X-pack 7.5" Ronal's

Narrowed axle and narrowed front suspension to get them in but retain the geometry.

I didn’t think they were 7.5”

I think the write up on one of the mags list them as 7s  🤦‍♀️

Perfect looking wheel combo for me, look the dogs danglies  😎

[FrankC]

How do you narrow front to get them to fit ?

Always just thought it was the addition of Mex arches…

[Jersey Stardust]

I have not seen the car in person, but sure they look 7 inch, the 7.5 are way tooo dished

[FrankC]

Possibly had both at some point. I’ve aseen pics online that look like 7s and if you type in his name on YouTube there’s a video where he gives a brief rundown on spec of his car and it has aftermarket 7.5s

Marcus Hayes video ?

[Jersey Stardust]

I think you are right, I have now studied photos of the car,  it does look like a mixture of 7s and 7.5s very cheeky

The wheels on the car in the photos above are 7.5 's all round.

First introduced in UK on FMC555V a Mk2 Escort concourse car in the late 90's. Which copied the German RS scene look.

Narrowed rear axle, modified front hubs, rolled arches and machined rims to get a different ET-value.

SBD motorsport is where I remember it from… 7x13 in description 

The whole build is 1st class not just the wheels. Attention to detail 😎
