I bought my Cossie from Italy about a month ago! My friend works at the local Ford-dealer and we traced the manufacture number (or what you call it). It is original Cosworth and i havent found marks from reshelling! Thats why i asked about it.

Especially when you're building a 3dr 4x4 replica and live in the states where none of the parts are available...

I know what yuo mean! I built a racecar last year. Ford Escort -77 mk2 with Coswort engine and everything!

Escort
Escort on the ice
Sideways

But it is little bit easier to find stuff for these cars from Finland, because i am not the onlyone whose crazy. I hope your project goes well! But i have ordered quite a lot of parts from England. They are cheaper there than back home. I use Ebay alot!
