im after doing a project with my dadbut he getting on abit so im thinking i only have 1 chance so had to make it a good 1.

i want to build a escort cossie like others have but do it properly so i need to know what shells have the tunnle in them? is it just cossie and rs2000 4x4?

and how hard is it to put sierra cossi running gear in one?


matt

 

The RS2000 4x4 uses a different and totally useless 4x4 system. The only shells with the tunnels were the cosworth shells. And they're very expensive. And it's pretty easy to put the saff running gear in as it's the same floorplan!

 

its only the escort cosworth shells that have the tunnel in them & dont share a lot of bits with the standars escort shell
easyest way is to graft a sierra cosworth floor & bulk head in to what ever shel you decide to do it to

 

has onyone hear done it?
or is it better not to even try?

 

Dont even attempt it mate without a fully equiped workshop.

 

Even if you were to graft the floor pan & front end in to the std Escort shell you then still have a standard width shell... So then it's onto the outside!!

 

nothing wrong with standard looking 4x4 cosworth power lol





(ps the mk3 is soon to look like this again)

 

the mk3 rocks!!!!

 

Read his post!! It says he wanted to build an Escort Cosworth hence my comment regarding the wings.

 

ok my bad

but making a rep is not as fun as wasting someone in an old van
especialy if that someone is an old bloke in a lambo trying to do a fast 0-60

 

but its not the same if its not 4wd
what about if i make a tunnle?

 

why not save up and buy a batterd escos?

 

Took the words right out of my mouth, all the fucking about with replica's might as well go and buy the real mcoy even if its a shitter

Good news

 

both the van & the escort are 4x4
make a sleeper its much more fun & you can leave them anywhere without worrying about gelous twats wrecking them

ye we have the wheels just need to find some saph front brakes so we can get the 6 pots off

 

cheap cossie? ther still like 10k that i dont have lol
and was looking forward to makeing something

seen a 4wd cossie fiesta that might be a good plan

i want a rally car in the end lol

 

ok ok i give in i guess its pointless building a cossie so give me idears of what to make?
need power and would like it to be small and cheap to buy!


help plz

 

there was a smashed one going for 7k on piston heads.
