i know someone who recons that the small turbo EsCos are actually Mk6 Escorts and not Mk5 like the earlier big turbos. i think that all Escort Cosworth are based on Mk5 shells.

when he says Mk6, i think he means Mk5b. i still think thats wrong and all Cosworths are based on the original Mk5 shell. hence the later small turbos don't have 2 part rear lights.

whats the score, is he talking shit?

i know that there are some shell differences between big and small turbos (petrol cap), but are they both based on original Mk5 shells, or are the small turbos Mk5b or Mk6's?

 

It's irrelevant, as only the roof and tailgate are the same, every other detail is cosworth specific.

 

Indeed, it's not even an escort

 

i know this, but settle the arguement either way...

 

If you were building an escort cosworth replica, I can confirm that you would be a total twat to start with anything but a MK Va yes. Although enough of the silly little bastards have

 

they are all mk5
there is no change in the rear lights at all
the only difference outside from a small and large is the wing mirrors and fuel filler

 

i'm not building one. don't be silly

cheers Gareth, thats what i said. its a debate going on in the members section of the SXOC.

 

 

Escy, btw mate,, im sure ill be over the island later,, pick me up about 3 ish? see what ladys i can bring for you

 

lol mate, didn't see this untill now. i was at work and then went to Penarth Snooker Club with some of the boys from work. got pissed up, stoned and didn't leave untill 6.45 in the morning

 

Escy, sounds cool mate,, i didnt go over the island in the end,,,

 

i think his on about the petrol flap that the mk6 has and some escort cossy have a petrol cap rather than a flap like mine

 

The proper ones have a petrol cap the others have a flap

 

i had a small turbo ecos without a petrol flap

 

mine has a flap i thinks cos all the ones with out the petrol flap end up rusting ther so they sorted that out
