Starting to rebuild my Escort Cosworth replica now along with loads of bigger and better parts and after all the inside and outside is done a proper loony engine is going in!

Here are some pics when i got it :

 

hope you're sorting the billy bodge job engine bay out as well then!!! Look at the water feed for the turbo!!! Plumbers special!! And the intercooler pipes!!





couple of pics of my old mk5 I did!!

 

Since then i have bought loads of bits to change the looks of the car to give it a more genuine and original look !Including:

Interior-
cosworth dash board
dash banana
centre guages
full cloth Hexagon interior
speedo instruments
clock/temp
cosworth centre console and handbrake console
ford racing water temp, boost, fuel pressure, volt, and oil pressure guages
twin pillar pod

Exterior-
genuine front bumper with splitters and hockey sticks
RS7 diamond cut 17" wheels
330mm brake conversion
red/smoke rear lights
opening rear windows

 

yes mate that was sorted dont worry

 

 

Getting there now...... Ryan, you forgot to mention soon to have propper tunnel added too Will update again some time next week?

 

Yeah got a few more bits coming so update in a few days peeps

 

Nice looking rep. The rear end looks spot on

 

nice one wat engine ya going for....

 

Nice wheels! Shame about the dent in it

 

Yup, he bought it as a spare mate. 4 coming to him today!

 

You do know that isnt an ECos dash you have put in dont you?

 

N.I.C.E.

 

More done today. Update coming tomorrow

 

looks good, but lose the cossie badges on the back!

 

Yeah i know it aint a Esc Cos dash in the picture but im gettin a Cosworth dash as im fittin a sierra floorpan for the looks!
RJ

The cosworth badges stay im afraid

 

****3/09/04 UPDATE****

Hi guy's, well a bit more was done yesterday...here are the pics....

RJ's got his new wheels in



Freshly chopped and hand crafted with hammer and chisel from a sierra



New Spacer setup RJ got @ National Day to give the correct offset for the wheels with the esc cos wings



Stripped







Grinding down the calipers to accept the huowoge discs



Freshly angle drinded by moi to fit in the escort



Other side disc on and sorted



Removing the original seat mounts so the tunnel will fit correctly



In place, with a few minor adjustments ready to be tacked in



Once the tunnel is in place, an Escort Cosworth carpet will need to be sourced along with the dash and the interior can be bolted back in....RJ will then work on the underneath to modify the gear linkages for the tunnel etc....another update soon peeps....

 

That's good work there dude but why did't you just buy a real one in bad shape and fix it up??? Not meaning to be a dick.

 

I am sure Ryan will answer, but he aint on here much. I 'think' it will come down to the factor of, insurance.....and the cost of even a 'repairable' cos, which youreally just dont find! and I must admit with things like this u 'can' end up spending just as much as buying a genuine one outright, but Ryan has had the car a few years now and it came up cheap with all the right bits on it, so he grabbed it whilst he could

P.S I know a esc cos is his ultimate car so sure he will buy the real thing one day

 

looking well for a replica

 

A lot of work going on there.

Should look spot on when its done

Keep up the good work mate

 

amence so its new gearbox rear exel and engine i take it ??? wat ya fitten in cosworth runnin gear??? and its ok fitten the tunnel but wat about the start of the tunnel (engine end)????

 

Hows this project going? Be nice to see it now!

 

Looking good, but loose the cossie badge from the rear

 

lot of work gone into that

 

..lot of hard work gone into that mate

 

Looks good.

I seriously thought you were taking the piss when you said you were going to fit a tunnel!!!

You might as well rip the whole bottom out and put it on a 4x4 sapph floorpan!

 

Ryan has been without a PC for a long time now so no update's im afraid...will post one up as soon as, now winter is setting in work will carry on slowly i should think

 

kewl

Why is he welding that floorpan in? Maybe i'm stupid but just not sure lol

 

looking good

 

Keep up the good mark lads

Well done, should look good when finished

 

lookin good, but is there a way you can get the front wheels to sit right without using a seirra floorpan? What engine you putting in? i'm away to look for a new engine for mines but need a few ideas but think it will be a erst but not sue

 

amazing mate, looks well nice

 

 

Yes mate my front wheels do sit central in the front wings and they are genuine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not sur eon the floorpan idea!
Rest is coming on well though

 

Due to a baby on the way and lack of work space no updates im afraid but in the next week there shall be dont worry!

 

Good luck for next week mate, hope all goes well Back to the scort soon

 

We want an update!!!!! LOL ageeeeeeeeeees ago since we saw some progress

 

Coming on nicely
