Did it come from the factory like this or its a very nice conversion?

I read somewhere that only very few models came out like this, when they changed the 3dr with the saph...

Does anyone know if its true or not? Cause if its true this must be one of the rarest cossies ever....

 

i see one when i was in spain, had to look twice

 

Didn't come off the production line as Cossies though, just a 3 door with the new front, Europe-only.

 

Do you really think Ford would sell a car looking like that does where the front arch extension meets the front bumper?

 

it's just a mk2 3 door that was available on the continent, but not in uk. not in cossie version, but obviously all mk2 stuff will fit, including 4 door cosworth front end.

does look proper bo, and i would reshell my sapph into one if i didn't happen to have an estate kicking around.

 

Forget the estate, but a mk2 3 door

 

That looks superb

 

I think it makes the car look really "soft" IMO

 

that does look nice and as stated above only avail in europe.

 

I actually quite like it

Don't think it would look half as good with the standard headlamps though

 

another in england



24v

 

theres a yellow 3dr in Edmonton North London(NOT on the road yet) it also has saf rear end panels and lights certainly had to look twice when I 1st see it

 

You can spot if its a mk2 or a Mk1 with the saff front grafted on by looking at the fuel filler

If it has a flap its a mk2 if its just a cap then its a Mk1 that been modded

 

just some info on the particular car. Its a 200 block which runs a comp ratio of more than 9:1, HKS T51R KAI on pectel and was dynoed 713 hp and 72 kg torgue at the wheels on 2.3 bar. On 2.5 it demolished the tranny and now it runs 4wd with a Quafie straight cut box....

in its old spec (around 700 bhp at the crank) on street tires had a best 1.4 mile in 12.5/199 kmh and it was spinning its wheels for the whole quarter mile distance in all four gears...

 

wat a fuking mess
why ppl mess around with 3doors i will neva know


Read the thread properly! Thats how it came from ford
I recon it looks good personally

 

brom you cooont it how they came in europe, you nod pot

 

I think that looks excellent!

would do the arches a bit better myself! but other than that its kool!

Really like the wheels on that car aswell!

 

wicked looking car

 

not sure about the back on this one

 

there is no way ford wud have the kit ending onto the bumper like that

as far as i am aware the rs500 were the last 3doors in procutoin
and then it was changed in 88 to the saff
i got a book here tells ya all about it

 

sorry a saff bumper does nothing for me
rs500 bumper all the way

 

Looks


3dr's shouldnt be messed with

 

in fact i cud even tell you the last chassie number to come off procuctoin line
if you want

 

I know, micky dicky, but you did get Mk11 3 doors in Germany and spain and I think the cossie kit looks very very good on it.



The one in the pictures I posted once finish had a great job done when joining the bumper to the kit

 

o yes it does look a little gay

 

JohnnyB,

The 1 u posted looks a bit funny on the rear window!? was it a 4i shell!? & they chopped out the pillar!?

 

micky dicky

i was on about cozzys not rep mobiles

 

left hand drive spain import

 

its got some silly wing things on it

 

 

aye aye brom

 

look's good imo was done before with a xr4i but still had the xr4
side trim which looked good with the saff front bumper.

 

Actually you are all wrong

There was 1 mk2 3dr Cossie built in 1991 for the director of the ford plant in Genk. It was a dark metallic green with green leather trim. 4wd with early type saph wheels.The car was only used at a couple of shows as they couldn't get type approval for it. I saw the car while working there in 2000, and it was just sat in the corner of an outbuilding, having covered less than 100 miles. A couple of lads who were working there at the time stole the head and front seats from it i believe. I've got some piccies somewhere that i'll put up. I spoke to one of the managers at the plant about the car and he said they couldn't sell it because of the type approval issues and that it would probably be crushed

 

I quite like the look of those.

Still prefer the RS500 front though personally.

that looks wrong

saphs are ugly boats

3doors are hard core old school

i own a saph as bank manager says no to 3door

 

Anyone know what them wheels are on the 1st white Cossie. Look a bit like speedlines.

 

Funny cause yours aint been messed with as it

Stihl saw and bulkhead

 

ya but its still looks and is a gen car
not with bushit bumpers put on it

 

Theres a guy in belper who has a three door rep with the saph front end,its allways made me wonder where its from,it looks cack!!!
