escort cosworth build from fwd shell to rwd - Page 2

Graceland · 10-10-2009, 01:08 PM

Absolutely gobsmacked

When you first put this thread up last month I thought "yeah, another wannabe with a dream"

But fuck me - what an impressive project

Some serious commitment and time has gone into that and the work involved to do it is nothing short of astonishing

Keep it up fella - looking forward to seeing the end result

alanfordtw-15 · 10-10-2009, 09:56 PM

top marks, well done.
was this the car that was featured in fast ford years ago as a replica?

cozzfather · 10-10-2009, 10:11 PM

i personally would of bought a grands worth of genuine escort cosworth shell and restored or repaired that and saved all the aggro plus theres always the resale to think of and you would always have a genuine thing.

its certainly had some hard graft done and you can't fault the enthusiasm,you basicallly are doing what ford did yourself and 15 years later.

vodoo1 · 13-10-2009, 06:20 PM

looking good tony mate

i'll let you paint it auralis blue when I buy it off you

i no it would have been easyer to buy a grands worth of escos shell but there wos nothin about when i started this project. my mate had this shell for sale so i thought fuck it ill build my own an save the shell bein cut up for the panels.it dont bother me that its not a gen escos so long as it goes like one an looks as good that will ding dang do for me pal

Minirotty · 07-11-2009, 12:02 AM

Its great Tony mate, was a great rep shell when Martin had it and thought it was the best it could have been back then but what you've done to it is unreal mate.

Will have to pop over and see your painting skills as an when mate.

combi van man · 07-11-2009, 11:45 AM

well done mate,glad you kept at it & havent got board.

looks very shinny.

MarK4 · 08-11-2009, 10:30 PM

amazing build, one question that turbo and external wastegate look like a ebay special are you sure you want to use those. Looks like xs power or similar.

Very good fabrication skills!
