Ford escort rs 2000 convert to cosworth with mechanical parts from sierra cosworth 4x
Hello guys , I want to ask a question. As the subject says, I have an escort rs2000 mk5 and I want to convert it to cosworth with floo pan from sierra cosworth 4x4. I think the genuine escort has floor and mechanical parts from sierra cosworth 4x4.Can i make it or not.Thanks

You can make anything you want from the pats if you have enough time and money. The Sierra floor pan is longer than your escort so you will need to cut and shut it. This needs to be done properly of course for strength etc. I have done the conversion to my mk3 escort which is basically the same. Have a look at my build thread in my sig. there is plenty of other guys on here that have done the conversion too, there’s loads of threads with basically the instructions how to do it! Just have a look.

There was someone on here who built a red escort cosworth out of a base model shell and a sierra floor, car looked superb finished but fabrication work looked questionable tbh.
My only advice would be take the shell to someone with experience in this to be welded together, like AG Motorsport ect
Edit to add I just noticed your in Greece lol

Are we talking mk2 escort 1970s or 1990s rs2000? If it is a newer version I would start by buying a 4x4 rs2000 as they did make them and the floor pan of that would be roughly same length as escort Cosworth...I would buy a cossie shell though.
If you are talking mk2 then I would fit a mistubishi evo floor pan and drive train...that would be far cheaper without the cossie tax and much stronger with a much bigger parts supply.

I reckon the price of converting would be similar to buying a genuine shell. There's been a few on eBay recently. Dingla and MK Motorsport can do I nice conversion though
