Default saff

hey im new to the forum, just thought i'd say hello!

I plan on building a ford sierra sapphire cosworth replica (insurance is an issue at the mo) and droppin a cossie lump in it later on.
Is this project possible?

Please point me in the right direction and things i need to consider.
How much would i be lookin at for a tidish saff, parts and engine needed for the swap over?

Anyone i need to speak to or done this or similar before?
Cheers for any interest and help!
James

Welcome

Im guessing in the long run it would end up costing more to build a rep and eventually drop in an cossie lump rather than just to get one in the first place.
Insurance could be more too as it would end up as a highly modified car compared to the original?
Just out of interest, have you got any quotes for a proper cossie? There are some young people on here with them, so it is possible
