I think you have a point there with the 10 to 12mm hole fix, although I'm a bit concerned with the fact of drilling on my car. I'm gonna look a bit more into this since it looks like a legit solution.
Also for the front side, I've played with the idea of installing the rollbar and knucles from a cossie as you say; so I might end up going for that one.
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do all this with the tightest budget without compromising reliability, so it will take time.
Thanks a lot for the help, it means a lot!
For the front you will probably not need the arb. If you currently have a 28 mm thick one it will be the same as the Cosworth one. Depending on what knuckles you use (3dr or Sapph Cosworth) you will also need the TCAs. I would recommend the 3dr knuckles as they give much better steering, but they are more expensive and more difficult to find. The 3dr knuckles use the tapered tca with castle nut, the Sapph knuckles have a pinch bolt tca type.
For the rear you could upgrade to a Cosworth rear axle as well, or you could mix and match some parts from the Scorpio/Granada to get something comparable but probably a lot cheaper. In the end it depends what you want. If you just want to fit some nice wheels or also have beter handling. Personally I really like it if the car handles nicely, which I prefer over how it looks. I would also never go really low on the suspension, as it really messes up the handling.
