Andrew Gallacher will get back to you if you email him or PM on here, but when I enquired a few months back it was in the region of Ł3500.

Genesis on here are keen to do one..... DJM have done a few....Street Racers in Leicester have done plenty of non-focus cossie conversions (206/306)....

everything will bolt straight on. sierra tunnel sand blasted. its impossible to press out the shape ford makes to go over the transmission and give you maximum room inside for seat etc

he'll make a whole new one, he's done a mk1, well is still doing it and that's a work of art so much effort in it, it'll pick the front wheels i think when it's done

Try them, they've usually got a few in with very minimal damage, keep the dash and glass, then sell everything else!!
