im looking into my next rally car and have been seriously considering havng a focus bodyshell prepped for cosworth running gear,

but, who would do such a thing ?

i need a pukka spec on it, not some shit in the shed job, this is to be a stage rally car to take group A/WRC escort parts.

ive emailed andrew gallagher but havnet recieved any replies,
anyone else that you guys know of ?

cheers

 

I was going to suggest him funnily enough as he is joining PF as a trader offering exactly that service.

Scotty is another option... dont really know of anyone else who does that... or who mails over valve part numbers...

 

There's a company in Westhougton (Bolton way) who did a Scooby Focus for rallying, also did a Fiesta Mk5 with a Focus RS engine, also for rallying...

Railway Clutch centre or something along those lines... Althought not 100% how good they are, they seemed to do the Scooby focus pretty well.

 

He's mega busy as always so he might not have been on the PC much...

He's done quite a few now, including his new shape Focus track car so he's certainly the guy to get to do it

 

pm'd you his number mate

 

Thats Andy Barker...

Just get Tim to buy the Scooby Focus to break

Scotty, Danny B or the fella who did the Cossie KA & the prep work for Colin & Alisters Mk2's

 

That'll be DJM, the website is a bit crap, but his cars are nothing short of awsome.

I didn't think you could take bricks and mortar rallying Mark!?

 

why not just get a group a escort? as the only difference from the focus would be the looks

 

M-sport? Sure they probably can still do them although i'd imagine they would cost a fortune

 

Andrew Gallacher is definately the man for the job and you are a garanteed a quick turnaround with the work. He has just taken on another fabricator and another mechanic and the business is expanding big time.

Also the website has just had a wee makeover and all the contact details are in there.

THEY ALREADY HAVE BUILT tarmac focus cosworths utilising
wrc kit,chances are though most people on here have never heard of them,but they built r***y cars for FORD MOTOR COMPANY
not cheap but the best imo at r***y projects

 

DazC
you cant, but i can damn sure spend the profits
GARETH T

have you seen the rising costs of group a parts ?

and not only that but i would want the WRC rear suspension setup for it anyway (escort or focus) so the mag arms/y links and beam would be redundant plus the shell mods for the cradle and the price of a pukka shell is near 3k bare for an ex works well used item.
ive seena few nice shell, but non are as nice as a new shell, i dont mind paying for the nice bits, i just dont want to pay for a well used shell thats priced on history.
the only parts i would use from a group a car would be transmission and front suspension anyway, would be a waste, plus nice focus body parts are cheap as well

stu - on its way !! sorry i forgot

 

Their fabrication is amazing Howwever Dennis quoted me £10000 to do a shell and that was 8 years ago

 

that D.O.M.E site is about 10 yrs out of date

 

tims got the perfect shell, only its gota big fook off plasma screen on the front of it and a playstation inside

it is a mint simulator though, i spent one afternoon in that car

 

markk

does this mean your wanting your box back

 

not yet, but if you want a nice 7 speed FFd i know where there is one just for you if i dont buy it mate

 

still done what the man asked for though
have seen one,and it was using a combo of focus wrc and escort stuff

 

Keep your eyes on K.37 Mark

That may spoil your plans

 

had a bit of indside info on that pal

 

yeah they are very good, i live not too far from their old workshop, used to go and be nosey every now and again lol....even used to see them testing the cars on the road some days

 

Speak to Steve Scott @ A1 RallySport

He's got one I believe.

 

i have spoken to andrew gallagher today, and the price sounds pretty feasable

 

Steve Scott A1 is very good, seen some of his, he fabricates his own tunnel from new steel.

Andy Gallagher also very good, difference he used a sierra floor plan cut out.

He charges around 2k for the conversion, once you supply him with a shall

 

DIY like we do mark

 

I have also thought about a rwd cossie focus for a while now

 

TOUCHAY me too hard as nails

 

All you need to do is look here & see the Quality of work
Andy is your man

Never seen that thread before, WOW comes to mind, what an amazing build.

One question though, who the hell is the complete cuntston on it giving the builder and Martin shit?

 

i wouldnt bother with another 2wd rally car ever again, unless it was something like a BDG mk 2

 

before you decide anything speak to dave patterson about doing you a shell. you should have his number iff not let me know and i,ll text it you.
