Default thoughts? Escort cos

I’ll cut a long story short,first time I seen an escort cosworth fell in love!but must admit was a little shocked and disappointed after finding out it was only 220/230 odd bhp! At 26 found my self in a position to be able to buy one,39 now. So did! Over the years went on to spend way more than I thought I ever would on it! A bit here a bit there,it all adds up.so 45 grand later lol I’ve ended up with a 480 bhp car! Big discs re-sprays gearboxes clutches rebuilds etc etc. Not just going for speed I’d like to think I’ve gone about it the right way! I’ve spent big money trying to make it as reliable as I can where most just chase the BHP! Straight cut box,big breaks, hydraulic clutch,WRC head gasket and seals and so. When I started I said I want to make it a 500bhp car! At 480 I’m just short of that target. So I’m thinking of planning one last build! At the moment I have a two wheel drive head,so change it back to four wheel drive,new cans etc (top end rebuild) and an anti lag system! Any rough ideas on price? And over all general thoughts?
