Hi, my friends wants an escort rs cosworth but in Malta (not sure bout uk) a factory escort cosworth is more expensive than a brand new fiesta sports. Cosworth Escorts cost around 20 000 euros so he is thinking about converting a 3 door model to cosworth specs.

Body is not his issue as you can get cossie panels or maybe custom made fibre ones.

Regarding drivetrain would it be easier to get a sierra floorpan and use sierra gear or fabricate mountings and modify original floor pan??

Also about suspention is the escorts alot different than the sierra??
