Default MK1 Escort 4x4 Conversion

Hi Andy,

I've actually followed his build from start to finish, it was the first 4x4 conversion I found on the net before finding a few others on this forum that I have since been following too, his build was without doubt the main reason I'm now considering it myself! I don't recall him mentioning what he used as a donor car or whether it was suitable for a WRC conversion but the info he has provided and more so the pictures have been a great help.

I am intending on sending him a message, along with a few others, to make them aware of this thread and hopefully they'll be willing to share what they've learnt along the way when it comes time to build for both me and anyone else interested in a similar project. The threads I've followed most have been graham c's, andy ascos's, -beefy-'s and Cyril Sneer's, all have used slightly different approaches which have their own benefits and drawbacks and I'm hoping to use the best of each conversion for my own and share that information here for anyone else who is interested.

In the meantime the main piece of information I need relates to what shell to use that would allow a a WRC build to happen with the minimum amount of fuss, with any luck a base model Sierra of any year or spec will share all of it's mountings etc with an Escort RS Cosworth!
