I've built a mk3 now its on for a full resto

simple to do but start off with a 2 litre first makes it easier in the long run

The mark 5 has a lot more room in the front for coolers etc
cossie4i has built a few aswell do a search for cossie powered sleepers

my mate had his mk5 cortina cosworth at ford fair..... in green and was on the dorset rsoc stand.

Anything like that is going to cost you a plenty to get a decent shell.

I'd be looking for an old cortina estate or something similar, it's just a case of keeping your eyes and ears open and asking your ford friends to do the same..

I had a mk3 with an essex v6 and the gearbox fitted fine, infact when i removed it and fitted a Rover V8 and 5spd, there was very little to do to make the gearbox fit.
I must admit i cheated a bit as to get the Rover in i just bought a Rover V8 into Capri Conversion and adapted it for the Tina by using Range Rover mounts. The tricky bit was Converting the Car to Hydrolic Clutch for the Rover box but all in all its a prety easy car to work on with a rather large bay and tunnel
