Exactly He never says it was an Escos shell and ID.

High spec Cossies are worth more in parts 99% of the time anyway... so all he has ruined is a standard Escort shell which is worth Ł2.50 and a penknife!

He probably had a high spec Saph that rotted away and thought he would try something different...

Thats my theory anyway.

I actually like it, well iff it gets finished... Did any one see that white saph cossie pickup in last months fast ford? Its very similar and your saying that the white saph pickup which was in fast ford was crap? No way. Good project i think. Whos gonna expect a cossie lump in a pickup? Sleeper... And i bet its good fun also.

i think thats cool as fuck! admitadly a bit of a waste if its a genuine cossie shel but whatever really, still cool!

fairplay to him for not following along with the trend like 99.9% of cossie owners. ie. stage 3, MOs, AP brakes and shares in autoglym.

Whats funny about all this is ........................

If it was Martin Hadlands project , you`d all be wanking furiously over how great it is/going to be and will he do the Gumball in it

The guy done something different and so what if he did butcher an Escort Cossie shell , WHICH he didnt so jus chill your beans and appreciate something a little different
