Well, what would ya have, it's just an idea thats running through my head, what would ya have,
A gulf racing coloured XR2 with a 2.0 16v Vauxhall XE engine on throttle bodies , it's front engined, but running a 5 linked Atlas rear end, (it's the old P/Ford one, and it's sat in my garden, as a shell) or
A Series1 RS turbo with a 1.8 Zetec on throttle bodies mounted in the rear with a big bulkhead,
The engines are in my garden, and I've allready got the XR2 shell, but the S1 thing ( I can't think of another way to describe it!) would be alot cheaper to build, but harder as the XR2 needs a full MK2 Escort suspension set up etc, oh and a decent Atlas costs £2500+
Well, what would ya have, I think the XR2 would handle aswell.

do the XR thing - dont mess with S1's!

 

It's not a S1, just a Mk3 shell that I'd make look like an S1.

 

think a normal xr2 with a turbo engine imo , why fook about making things for no reason

 

Do the Mk3 and sell me the Feastie

 

I would have the engine at the frt n the drive at the rear, so it's gotta be the festa (even tho they look poo)

 

people say the same thing to me when I climb mountains and I say, "because I can!" Whatever it'll be, it has to be rwd!

 

Can't see the point of having the engine in the back of the escort
Fiesta could be fun though

 

MEF won an event outright with an XE running RWD in a Fiesta shell.

Should never have sold it really, but after the win NO further development was necessary I suppose.

Forget about the rear engined one Andy they take lots to get them to handle well.
Forget about Mk2 stuff too - look for grafting something newer in

 

what about this spadge surely you could just slot a cossie lump straight in
