Default unsure mondeo or focus cosworth?

right as some of you know im on the look out for another focus shell . this is where my dilema started ,

ive found a mk3 mondeo shell at a very resonable price, and this got me thinking into a kinda st220 rep, imp blue , black leather and 2wd cossie power.

or stick with the original idea of a 3dr focus cosworth and keep searching for a shell .

im in two minds , please help me !

110% Mondeo without question or doubt. Focus has been done over and over and over.... It's just getting boring now. Mondeo would be a refreshing change.

Why not tempt Martin-Reyland with an offer for his Mondeo Cosworth, would save allot of time, effort and money in the long run.

I completely agree with everyone above. The focus cosworth is extremely cool and the car Ford should have built but there are a few around now, be different and build a mental mondeo like Martin did Look at the following that car has and it's green

I reckon the focus.

YES I agree the mondeo is cool and different, but ultimately if you and a few focus cossies go out on track, you'll the be cool and different and slower one

If i were doing it, i'd do a focus, however it would be good to see a mondeo get done Just don't forget if you are doing an st220 rep they have wider front wings/rear quarter panels so you can't just slap the bumpers on a standard bodied one.

Do the mondeo,the ST220 looks gorgeous in that blue! Would be a pretty good sleeper,imagine pulling up to the side of it thinking your racing a sales rep off the lights and then you hear the cossy engine roar and the dump valve-would be addictive
