i cant really see a mark 5 escort dash being different, i may be wrong

theres a coin tray thats needs changing to the clock

the heater controls

hole cut for the bananna pod guages to sit in

add a center console should look exactly the same

the only thing that might be different is the colour, not sure tho

Cheers matee anyone else know any differences??

Also could any one tell me what the build quality is like on a escort cosworth , is it well screwed together etc

I heard that the escos was hand built so i thought maybe its a little better built than other escorts.

Escort Cosworth dash is a derivative of the MKV escort.

there is a hole in the excy dash for a clock, this is where the guages sit in the Escos. There are a couple of additional holes for the bannana pod to clip into

The fasica where the radio sits in the esc is cut off and is replaced by the centre console.

The armrest in the ECos is a derivative of the saph / granny item
