Hi guys what sort of money do completely bare escort cossie shells go for (if found of course)???? i`m not bothered if it has i`d or not as i want it for track use only and to reshell my rs2000.......yes i did say rs2000

Dean you spanner get out of this forum

For gods sake don't tell me you are going to put RS2000 internals into an Escos
Have you been drinking again
Have you checked ebay, I have never seen a 'cheap' one though

Seeing as the only things the Rs2000 and Escos share in common is the headlights,backlights and glass i think you will have a job mate..

....and doors,(not rear glass qtr's) most of the dash,bootlid, fuel caps, mirrors, side lights, side repeaters, sun visors, stalks etc etc. Would be interesting though but it may work out £6000 cheaper to reshell it using a mark 5 std shell!!!

Dean you have a PM

thanks matt but i know about that one.


guys i`m thinking of reshelling to the escort cosworth shell, i said nothing about it being a road car or what wheels will be doing to hard work..........

Dont take it to heart Dean-none of us means anything by it (except my 'spanner' comment )
as I said in the PM I will keep my eyes peeled for you

lol dont worry matt i know they are all just upset of the idea of making a better escort cosworth2k

MONSTER

No offence meant Dean just having the craic pal

I've seen escos shells go for around £3k but you may be able to pick 1 up cheaper.

As for sticking the 14 lump in & rear driving it, i can't see it being a big problem mate to a man of your abilities

thank you uncle dave

i`m really not bothered by the comments as i knew it would cause interest

if a shell comes up then i will consider it but for now i`ll just tidy up my shell up and get her back out on track so i can upset more turbo drivers


oh dont forget the bonnets fit each other, i know the boots are the same as i have a carbon fibre escort cosworth one here to prove it lol

i saw a lhd Q regEscort Cosworth rally shell bare for £800 a while ago, well used but a proper thing,FOMOCO did a Cozzie shell
with 24v granada motor was in Car and Car Conversions moons ago.
anything is possible, what about a Diesel conversion

the saint

iTrader: (1)

i work in bodywork so as long as its not completely bent and rusted to death i could use it

just thinking of what diesel engine i could now use lol

may be better getting a cheap saff to reshell it with or putting a 24v v6 in it.

could use fibre glass panels all over to keep the costs and weight down,a set of bucket seats etc...and your there.

i was allways led to beleive get your self a 2.0 dohc xr4x4
and transplant all the mechanicals bar the dohc 8 valve motor,
put it straight in a cossie shell, drop a yb in and bingo,
i have seen a dohc xr4x4 complete car for 100 english pounds
chuck that into a Cozzie escort shell and you have a intresting
project on the go

cozzfather that was my plan and now they all know

I will just fix up my rs2k shell for now and see how many more people i can surprise out on track
