chaps;

few questions - i've got some spare money and i fancy doing a cossie conversion on another ford - i dont really fancy doing a mk1 or mk2, but i do fancy a mondeo

now what i need to know is what's invloved - i already have a 205 blocked cossie lump spare

is it really difficult- i want rwd, so i guess the tunnel will need enlarging, can i use a cossie t5 easily enough

i know there was a quick dark green mondeo with a cossie engine in years ago. i remember seeing it in mags

cheers, Terry

 

Reylands Mondeo cossie is the one your on about, sure their is a thread on on here...

The original Mondeo touring cars were rear wheel drive, but that came from them using the only two available Mondeos, which were 4x4, and had the front wheels disconnected from the drivetrain.

 

I thought all the TC mondeo's were fwd

 

i thought reylands was 4x4?

if the guy is asking rwd, surely you can just mod the tunnel?

 

Nope the Mondeo touring car was deffo front wheel drive

 

Rouse Did evaluate the mondeo in RWD format in late 92 early 93, it was so far off the pace that the idea was scrapped in favour of the FWD V6 that was used until 2000 .
RWD Mondeos have competed successfully in europe in Belgian GT etc.. I had one until last year ,sadly the shell wasn't up to what i required and its now been butchered up for a project at X-sport in basingstoke .

 

Sorry but cozmeister is correct, the early BTCC mondeo was RWD as there was to be a 4x4 mondeo it allowed theme to pick one set of driven wheels in this case they used the rear it was however RWD with a transverse engine. As the 4x4 mondeo was delayed a year it forced the cars to become FWD.

 

As there was a 4wd mondeo mk1 they have a transmission tunnel as std, the problem is the bits were rare then on the 4wd to get hold of even worse now.

i dunno what mondeo you want to rwd and cozzify. There already was a mk3 cosworth mondeo i posted on here way back and heres the link

Tony Ryan is CORRECT

CHECK HIS POST 4 UP FROM HERE

 

Tunnel would still need modding to take a T5 though.

 

take a mondy mk3 shell and a saff cossie doner to AG motor sport

saff floor pan's gotta be the easiest, cheapest way

 

I owned this car .

 

lol no that is wrong it did not compete in the btcc as RWD

*goes to find video to prove it*

 

no shit

did you buy it after a certain cosworth daddy posted it up on here for the world to see ???

 

Possibly around the same time , a German customer of mine had to go to Koen Pauwels to collect some focus stuff a few years back and saw it sitting there , he mailed me some pics and i went and bought it from that .

 

that belgian geezer has had some tasty kit over the years and the mondeo looked to be right up there with the best of them

 

No need as you are indeed correct it did not compete as RWD. When it finally did race at the end of the season it was FWD. I was was just trying to help clarify the point (somewhat poorly) that the original intention was to race the car in a RWD form, apologies for any confusion.

 

Ah I see now no worries

Shame though, that V6 sound and RWD would have been awesome to watch.
