How much do these go for? 4wd or 2wd
I'm prob right in thinking its cheaper to buy one than build it.
I'm seriously thinking about going mental and buying/converting one next year
I'm pretty sure my bank will have something to say tho

 

rocking horse!

its cheaper to build ur own if u can weld other than that u need to look for gartrac g6 shells

shell's do come up from time to time

 

Unless you can do the fab work yourself etc I wouldnt build one
It costs shit loads more than you think if you are paying someone else to do it.
Wait for one to come up for sale

 

Are the g6 shells the converted Q plate ones?

 

yes

 

ive seen it printed somewhere can remember who but it was basicaly bring us a cossie (2wd or 4wd) a mk4 escort shell and £6000!!!!!

and well build u one

 

a mate was looking into this, he has a 2wd saff and a erst, and was qoted £15k from one company.......

 

Awrite mate,why not try phoning Andrew Gallagher to see what he says about it and how much he would take to do it?

 

jano at oddkiddcreations have started to do these i think

not sure on the price tho

 

ha ha i dont think he is

 

I was quoted arond 7k on fabrication by andrew gallagher. Then all the parts you have to buy.

 

yo fella saw him yesterday and he is smoking about in a cozzied s2


and he said he was doing one for a customer might of misunderstood him tho

 

Was that the mk3 escort??? as it was rough but its complete and just needed a bloody good tidy.

Cheap option though

 

i was only quoted 3K just for the fabrication by andrew galagher??

are you surte that wasent to build it aswell? as steve scott qwuotes around 3k aswell

 

Yes sorry matey, it was to build it as well

 

I offer the conversion for a lot less than you have all been quoting


I have a RWD Mk4 escort with 340bhp untill new engine is fitted,.


Also i am in the middle of putting a Yb 4x4 setup into a Mk3 escort PICKUP original and not a cut and shut

 

nah that was a conversion labor pice price but u had to supply 2 cars as well

 

yer u can just copy how the xr3 has been done

so many figures so many pies

 

Weird question do these cars actually handle well?
I would love a 4wd conversion, leaving it on standard wheels but I dont think i would enjoy the brakes!

 

They do handle very well if you have the upgrades done that even the std Cosworth needs.

I have Adjustable TCA's compression struts instead of a rol bar, Avo coilovers

GrpA rear beam i want to fit with decent brakes will make a monster with the engine

 

I'm gonna have to start saving soon
Wish i lived closer so i could have a look at it mate

 

HISTORY LESSON---------------
IN DAYS GONE BY THE POWERS THAT BE IN MOTORSPORT SAID-NO WING EXTENTIONS UNLESS MADE WITH THE CAR!!!(IE GROUP 4 ESCORT ETC!!)
NO THIS NO THAT ETC ETC ETC SO A SMALL NUMBER OF COMPANIES DECIDED TO MAKE THERE OWN CARS AND DO WHAT THEY WANTED TO (AS A CAR MANUFACTURER YOU CAN DO THIS!! GOVENING BODY HAS JUST SAID IT!!!!!!! -HENCE THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PROTOTYPES/MANUFACTURERS ONE BEING GARTRAC -----NOT Q PLATES!
ANOTHER LESSON DO YOU KNOW HOW HIGH WATT BULBS CAME ABOUT???????????????-NO!! WELL THE SAME GUVORNING BODY SAID YOU MUST REDUCE TO AMOUNT OF FORWARD FACING LIGHTS!! SO!!
HENCE THE BIRTH OF HIGH WATT BULBS

so how much are you looking at jano ??

and what would you need for the conversion ?
