Rule 1 of cossie ownership; never add up what the car owes you!

cost is nothing compared to enjoyment and pride of cosworth ownership.

Yes, it’s an Escort Cossie, but now has coilovers, Tarox brakes and a GGR 375 BHP engine with all the braided hoses etc. And boy is it nice to drive. I love it, and every penny was worth it.

It’s not just £10K for the engine, I have all braided hose’s, three port oil separator, loads of Alloy products, new alloy radiator, AP clutch AP pressure plate, strut brace new turbo, etc. etc. It’s when you add up all little bits, you notice that it adds up to quite a lot.
