hi guys and girls, here we go...

At first, it cost me hours to wrote this topic because of my bad english so b nice

BIG THX TO GUIDO FROM http://ellmer-autosport.de/ for his superb knowledge, best prices and the quality work he has done on my cossie!!!!!!!!!

It began in may 2005, my front left drive shaft broke and i called guido what to do. He advised me to buy a new engine (not really, he sad: we can convert it to rwd but i have an interesting engine for you). i discussed it with him and after a sleepless night i called him back and said YES let`s do it

So the journey began:

first i had to travel 650km to Guido



horrible hours, because it was my first drive with a trailer, never again!!


the man of the outstanding work with my babe




some damage on my drive shaft





few pictures of the old engine





something is missing/ready for the "new" one




after a "little" work




T4 with 360 bearing, greys, 7,4:1, RS500 cylinder head and the usual stuff


love these pics





gearbox in (standart T5)




exhaust build









new intercooler and air filter



my beloved 6 pot's






rear brakes



new fuel pump



the times goes on, so birthday greets to Guido (i know "birthday" is written wrong, but it wasn't me )







and finally ready:




It tooks nearly one year till it was ready because i had to work hard for my money
Got it back in april this year and drove it nearly 10000km without any problems

So i say it again, thx for your more than outstanding work Guido

Next plans: ZOO rear beam, pectel monitor, adj. tca's, sort out a few electrical problems... (i can hear guido rubbish his hands )

Hope you enjoyed the little "story", to be continued after this winter...

 

Fucking excelent conversion matey

Was nothing wrong with the english either

 

was over at guido's a few weeks ago.

lovely workshop he has, and an extreamly nice bloke.

nice project

 

Welcome to passion ford ,car looks stunning

 

Oh no, why did you throw out the EFI Cosworth?

 

Was this car at Landgraaf , saw one similar

 

 

Brian

 

Nice Car you have there mate

im missing the Interieur Pics

 

Thx for all your comments guys

And yes i was at Landgraaf with some good friends, and of course Guido

So Guido can be satisfied




A little photoshot






And currently in fu**ing Switzerland






cheers

 

Great pics!

 

You mean the small tubro motor? Running Ford EEV-4?

I think thats because it's completely useless...... And the Webber Marrelli stuff is also EFi

 

I would not say it's useless, but not very powerfull

But still missing it, love the look of the later EscCosw. engines , i'am sure there will be a very nice project out of my old engine...

 

Very nice mate, liking that a lot, what happened to the top part of the spoiler?

 

This would be the one with the carbon bonnet vents Loved this car when i saw it ,where did you get the vents made

 

@Rab: This Escort has got a T3 turbo, EEC-4 and about 300 hp with half of the fuel consumption of a standard WM Cosworth!

@Coola: The HTT Cosworths in Germany didn't have the big spoiler for higher motorway speed

 

HEY ENRICO !!!

Nice to see you here.

very cool car as told in Turbostylez forum.

And YES EXTREME EXCELLENT Work of Ellmer Autosport.

Guido is the german Cossie god

But why the hell did you put the HTT Engine out? :- /

@ ryan: Looking forward to meet you again, soonest

 

@ Twins

creativecarbon still make the carbon bonnet vents

@ XR2

but there was a big spoiler on my car, and the top speed in my papers show my it was originally there... Think you were able to choose between the small or the big aerodynamic package

 

In Germany you had this possibility from 1995 to end of production, as I was told.

You could choose between small rear spoiler and big rear spoiler, without any price difference!

 

Wouldn't a new driveshaft have been easiër???

Just kidding, nice car, love it without the big spoiler

 

Love it too


THX guys

 

Ah interesting, didn't know that, cheeeers!

 

If i have an escort cos it would look very similar to yours mate great looking car

 

Nice to hear Homer The only thing i'am missing on it is a wrc rear spoiler , but there is no nice Tüv man to legalize it , so it is still a dream....

 

excellent the way all cars should be, 4x4 is for girls
did you leave all the 4wd rear axel and diff in or is that 2wd aswell?

any rwd action pics

 

 

Brilliant!! If only Ford did the same thing from the factory

Loving this photo too.....

 

At this time it is the standart 4x4 rear beam, diff, etc.....
Hope there is enough money this winter for ZOO rear beam and 9" diff, than you get your rwd action pics At this time i'am in Switzerland and when something breake it's very expensive to bring the car the 850km to Guido, so i'am still driving like Miss Daisy


@BillyCabrio
There will be some more nice pictures, but cannot say more at this moment thx Guido

 

I love this car escecially without the whale tale looks hard as fuck

 

Lovely car......

Black with no whale tale looks as carlo said

 

anything similar to this will do

 

no whale tale looks hard as foook !

 

Guido is the main man . He's the only one in Germany who gets to repair my car when it breaks at the 'Ring . I did hear that now he knows that I know where his workshop is, that he is booking a holiday somewhere abroad next time we come to the Ring .

 

here we go again...



after more than a year with LOT'S of fun i got bored of the car
there was thoughts to sell the EsCos and buy an EVO or M3 and till the time i cleared my mind
i was allowed to drop the car at Guido from www.Ellmer-Autosport.de, most of you know him as the



horrible mission and finally i sold many parts of the car and my sweet running engine to a member here of pf.

























































































so we can start from a bare shell

Now we are going the WRC route (of course in white), without most of the interior, with proper transmission, decent cage, a little bit more power and some "plastic" parts to reduce the weight of the car, fully adjustable suspension, etc etc...


a few months back:




i was allowed to strip a few things for my own because i was 2 months off from work, a little bit bored and i want to do a little bit on my own on my car (THX GUIDO)

2 days of hard work, icnl LOOOOOOOT's of coffee and to much cigarettes








after that i had to go back to Switzerland, back to work

last pic i've seen for my own:












that's it so far, updates soon thx for looking

 

that's how she looks now







cheers

 

wow

 

Fantastic project mate!

Keep up the good work!

 

thx guys , but i'am only the guy with the deep pockets , Guido did most of it and he will do in the future


cheers

 

i do my best to get your pockets deeper and deeper

 

gonna be a stunner when done
