Default German Escort MK3 Cosworth 4x4 - @Ford Fair 2017

So it's time to present my project, which I planed for quite a long time.
Actually, I don't know how much time I spent in looking around for all conversions done by you english neighboars...

It's not a secret that I have much respect of Wenny's Escort Cosworth... I love your car!
Outside absolutely clean... inside motorsport stuff...

So as you can guess... mine will be also absolutely clean...

So back again to my project:

Some months ago I bought a crashed Sierra Cosworth 4x4... The shell was garbage, but the rest was ok...

Next job was to find a Escort MK3 shell... and here it is...



It's in an amazing good condition. No rust!!! And that for 150 Euro (I think about 100 pounds)

Then I looked around for a Sierra 4x4 shell, so that I can take the floor pan out.



I took out everything of both shells...



In order to fit in perfectly the floor pan of the Sierra in the MK3 sheel, I had to weld up a kind of measurement frame or jig...
The frame is welded... the rest will be bolt on so that I can use the frame for future conversions... You never know...

All important mounting points like engine, stabilisator or gearbox will be on the frame, just like a fingerprint...

Here is the frame



the first brackets...



guide rails...



Yesterday I drew some guides, which will helps me in centering the axles perfectly...



These parts will be lasercutted in the following days...

That's it up to now... Updates will follow soon...

Cheers

Cyril

For my German friends: Jep... alles mit TÜV...
