Who converts Focus shells to accept Cosworth running gear.
Hi

Id like to know how much it would cost to take one of these companies a base model sierra, and say a prelude or integra or something shell, and them put the running gear from the sierra into the integra etc.
Then obvously its dead easy to swap to cossie bits.
Without cage fabrication or anything, what sort of cost is it?
are we talking a couple of grand?
or five grand?
what sort of ballpark?
(including front suspension and steering etc too i mean obviosly)

Ł1500 is very cheap for the hrs it requires it takes around 100 hrs from a new shell
i do full rolling shell less engine box diff for Ł4000 but that included wrc rear set up
why take a modern independent rear shell and put a old cozzy beam in there beats me

im sure a link is on his site.& as for how much cash he takes you would really need to e mail him as it depends on what spec you want the shell & if you want him to supply the shell.

Fair play for actually naming an approx price too, seems like most companies dont have the balls to estimate this sort of stuff even loosely in public!
Got any pics of the one you mentioned?

lets just say titanium link bars on the way and alloy rear uprights mounted on a set of wrc regia coil overs
oh fronts on wishbones as well with adjustable height steering rack
