My 3door cosworth project.* UPDATE* BREAKING
As most of you know i had my saff written off a few months ago 
,and after discussing with the insurance i was able to buy it back ,wanted the engine and box for a new project (was not sure at this time what i wanted poss mk2 escort) had a look about and decieded the mk2 was a bit over budget for me ,so went on the hunt for a 3 door ,luckily 3dr stretch on here was breaking his one at the right time so a deal was done ,he stripped out what i did not need and here we are.
This was my saff after some one pulled out on to me.
Not much more to come off it now ,since these pics the loom skirts boot lid and other bits have been removed
Found the tunnel and all behind the pedals was badly bent due to the crash.
The day came to go and collect the car from Wales so me ,Dave (twins) and Danny boy set off in the van to collect it (thanks guys
)
Bought some comp mo,s for the 3door ,these came along with us.
Going to go buckets and cage so thought the headlamp decals should stay.
Getting ready to leave.
Pulled in for a break ,decieded the tints had to go ,as they wont go with the cage and buckets.
Back home
Had to get in it lol
I will post up more pictures when the engine and box go in and also the cage and seats.
Thanks for looking
