Default focus cosworth on ebay?

I'm looking at this, but somthing just dosn't seem quite right about it? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...3D50%26fvi%3D1

, the wheels look tiny in the arches for 18"s, but I am very very tempted

Maybe it's due too it being a RWD conversion? the suspension may have had to have been relocated to accomodate the engine?

Why the fuk do things like this come up when I aint got the dollar?

Someone buy my X Pack so I can buy that

why would you start a project like that on a write off? you would want to use a nice clean shell to make sure you get a decent return for your investment? the wheels being back in the front arches and the passanger door not closing 100% properly might suggest a bump at some point though

There's no reason why the front suspension should have been moved to fit a SMALL Cos engine in, mines got a V8 in, and the front suspension is still exactly where Ford put it.

no but it 90% of the time would indicate a smash,


why, because it woudl be cheaper mate, a hell of a lot cheaper... some people dont have a hang up about repairing a right smashed up peice of shit and doing something like this to it...

if i was to do it i personally would want a straight shell!!!
