Its better to do it right once than spend a fortune knowing that its all got to come apart again, I've been doing this Escort nearly 3 years now, it took 2 just to get the shell and running gear how I wanted and paid for and in the last year I've started getting my engine together, I've always wanted one and as I don't earn a fortune I've had to accept its done when its done but it has to be right.
True, i've got the 2l zetec and cossie race box already, even thought about putting a cossie rear end in it (still might if i can't find a reasonable atlas), she will just be for trackdays and road use but don't/ didnt intend to do another, ever.
