how much is it worth
It will have a stage 3 engine, i've decided not to use the one in the pic, i've got another one with T34, green injectors etc, 200 block, level 8 ECU which i will have launch control and anti-lag put on. I haven't seen any for sale and know the kits are rare. How much is it likely to be worth when finished and white?
I'll take a pic of the engine today and put it on here later.
Thanks for any help.

Price thats difficult mk2 cossie escorts go for 8 to 15k depending spec so i think yours would be near to the top of that imo if not more
My advice is go for coilpack and closed loop aswell as launch and anti lag i'm sure Stu will do you a good package deal.
What cooler u using and expected power output?

Hi mark, thanks for that. I was going to make the engine mounts and gearbox mounts but do you know of any for sale, would be quicker for me.
What's your one like? Any pics? Do you know what they are worth when done?
thanks

the price of these goes up and down like a yo yo but a lot depends of the quaility of the build and spec level
as far buying the engine mounts and gearbox mounts i dont think you can has i had to make the gearbox mounts and i bought the last set of engine mounts but you are more than welcome to have a look at mine to give you an idea if you dont live to far away , mine is almost the same sort of stage as your apart from i have the engine and box in and the exhaust is on but still loads to do

Is that the same kit as mine then? RS Automotive Evo? Looks different. Has yours got twin petrol tanks etc? Might be cause the back isn't on it

Got all panels off car now, most of them in primer. Will be white soon. Bought some 18 inch wheels and new tyres. Getting on quite well now. Does anyone know how difficult the SVA test is? I dont know how it will end up being registered. I dont want it on a Q plate. I have been told i can use the donor car to put it onto. Can anyone help?
I have also sourced a Renault UN1 gearbox and found someone who has the linkage, mounts etc. to fit it all in. I will not be needing my Porsche 911 G50 5 speed box now, it has all the parts to bolt onto a cossie engine with it so if anyone wants to make me an offer for it, i will sell it.
Thanks

I USED TO SEE ferraris and lambos the real looking fakes not the fiero or mr2 crap with jaguar on the tax disc,infact that was one quick way to check if the car was real as some people register them up as what the doner was, dunno if it is still like this or if you could just act daft and do it.
that car would look great with the steering wheel on the left and a set of white revolutions

web81e, kentdude,
Nice to see your cars coming along nicely!
I'm sure if you gave Garry a ring he could make up the mounts for you as I'm sure he would still have the patterns/jigs.
I've had mine for 7 years now, still love it!
Have you got the twin tanks like mine? Cos I get really bad fuel surge, robbing the fuel pump round left handers. Am currently installing a lift pump + swirl pot.

Always liked these as the IMSA versions not the rally ones
Just a thought if you have some wide wheels kicking around and a bit of time to do some GRP work
