escort cosworth build from fwd shell to rwd

escoskmv · 21-08-2009, 02:31 PM

started this project a year ago, ive allways wanted a escort cosworth but have never had the spare cash to get one,so i started to build my own. ive done all the work myself from welding the shell to paint work an built a monster yb engine with t304 turbo an 50 mm external waste gate,wrc acrilite pistons,acl race mains and big end shells,ml wrc head gasget,arp studs etc etc wich is in my saff cos at the mo untill the escort is done then it will be giving its life so the escort can live. im new to pf an it would be nice to no wot you all think.

Martin-Hadland · 05-10-2009, 09:15 AM

Fair play, you must have a lot of spare time as there is some serious labour involved so far.
