looks nice did you use replica wings?
RJ post some pics of urs its mint

 

I cannot stand the replicas based on the mk.6 escort,the model with the lights in the boot!!


Dave.

 

ya gotta use a mk5 if your going for a cossie rep mk6 just don't look right...

 

turbopaj, That is a wicked Replica mate, looks really nice, glad you've done it properly with the right kinda power behind it!! That first pic looks

That Whaletail on the pic that Spunk has posted is way to high, no!!?? Looks like it rises right above the line of the roof!! Might just be the angle of the photo............

 

never noticed it, its for sale but it also is a LHD

 

yours looks mint turbopaj!

 

it is too high due to the lower spoiler being mounted on a std tailgate!

esc cos one sinks down!

 

Heres a few pics of my old one, pics aint that great im afraid, might get a few better ones up later.

Anyways, it had a full genuine cossie kit on it, ie steel wings front and back, lower bootlid, all genuine stuff, looked a pukka motor, but i fooked it off for real car (Nissan GTIR)

Spend some time sorting out a rep if you are thinking about doing one, like buying a N reg Mk 6 and converting it back to a Mk 5, its little things like that , that make the reps look better and get people thinking, but at the end of the day you aint never gonna fool everyone a rep just never looks big enough as a standard Mk 5 shell is very differnt to a Escort Cossy one.

 

There are a few reps in my area but the drivers are all w**kers! They're always trying to race us no matter where we are or trying to ram us off the road, then shouting & swearing at us when they can't. They've even started to point & laugh at us when we're out in the car, I mean, get a life, at least ours is genuine!!! After a while it starts to piss you off, especially when we've got the friends kiddies in the back with us sometimes & that i'm pregnant so we can't be too stupid on the road! One day i'm gonna knock their f**king heads off!

 

Rossco, Ryan's is as close as you can get, well almost, just gotta sort a rs2000 rear disc beam, all is genuine! Ive heard about the s1 with doglegs

 

No pop out rear windows????? lol

 

My old rep (the red one) had pop out rear quarter windows and a RS2K rear beam with discs!

The white one looks well sweet BTW! nice one!! Id have another one

Cheers

Ben

 

ROFL looks a beast

 

Tanky, I think thats what ryan plans to do next....

 

If I was gonna do a rep I would put the WRC kit on, that way people will always be guessing.

 

Well, yes and no. Although the WRC stuff looks mint!

 

The only other thing about building a true rep is the cost, you must be looking around the 10k mark if you are paying someone to do all the work for, by the time you have brought all the kit, the interior and all the other extras. If you look hard you can propbally find a real one....... Only problem would be the insurance i supose.

I know the dog legs suck arse!!!! lol Still will be gone soon hopefully.

 

Yea, it does cost a lot and your right, get a real one, but if u can get insurance or all the cash in one this is the other way. I have seen sum reps go for silly muney, and they have like a 1.6 N/A lump in with shit wings not even genuine kit!!!

 

My Replica Still Fooled A Hell Of A Lot Of People In Ipswich ROSSCO
And Yep It Has Got Openin Rear Quaters
And Will Soon Hav Rear Beam 320mm Front Brake Conversion
+ Loads More Thatll Make People Fink Thats Not Bad

There R A Lot Of Reps That U Cant Tell The Difference Wiv Unless U Get Underneath!
So B Carefull Coz 1 Mite Fool U 1 Day PMSL

Example Of Mine At A Show

****Yeah Look At That Cossie!That Looks Nice!****

As The Replica Gets Closer

****Look Its Pulling Over Lets Go And Hav A Look****

Standing Round The Car As The Bonnet Opens

****Oh Its A RS Turbo Lump,Come On Lets Go!****

Fooled Again PMSL
RJ

 

Hahaha, tis all true, i was there, funny that

 

The thing that lets teh reps down is the front brakes, normal escorts have the caliper mounted at the front of the disc where as the Cos has the caliper mounted at the rear.

 

Neva Mind U Dont See That Bit That Well!
Still Alrite For Those Of Us That Cant Afford A Proper Escort Cosworth
Yet!
I Still Love Mine And Its Pretty Dam Close 2!


Now Hav A 310mm Brake Conversion On Mine Now Looks A Bit Beta!

RJ,

Them brakes are hoooooj! Will have no probs stopping now when the car is over 200BHP! Look loads better too

 

Oh, you got PM BTW Ryan

 

spare wheel well underneath the back always gives the game away, as well as wheel offset and the front wheels sitting too far back in the arch. Maybe they fool the untrained 11 year olds eye, but not many others

 

Mine Dont Fool No1 Mate The Wheels Sit Perfectly Central And Yes I Have Genuine Wings!
Now Has Bigger Brakes Than Most Cossies 2 Which Is Good!
RJ

 

Most people would take on look at the front calpier though, if you have the big brakes find its the wrong side etc..

Also you need to some headlight washer jets, you can still get these from ford apparenty.

Other than that its a nice replica, what was the base car ?. how much did it cost to build ?

 

Ive Got A Genuine Front Bumper Now Wiv All The Bits
Brakes Still Look Good!
It Cost Thousands To Build
Thanx For The Complimant M8 Most Peeps Just Slate It!

How did u get your wheels to sit perfectly central in the front wings mate? surely you have to have the struts, and engine mounts moved forward, because i had genuine steel wings on, and the wheels sat way back in the arch

cheers
