£15k after the initial cost to sort your shell. Andy Gallagher on here does the conversion for £1800 IIRC...

All depends on spec really, dead basic could be
3k for fab and paint
2k for rotten saph with running gear that work
1k fuck up factor

Use a set of clocks from a mk 5 escort or similar and keep the focus wiring loom and do all the work yourself you might do it for 6k if you've got a complete donor focus.
Like anything else though, its all too easy to keep changing the spec as you go along.
a 6k project can sooo easily run over 30k

depends on what spec your going after really. you have the focus already,
if you go basic road car spec and try and pick up a damaged or rotten cossie and your handy with tools and have good mates i dont see why you couldnt do one for £5k odd.

As ad4mrst said, AG does it for around £1500- £1800 you supply the sierra strut tops and floor and send it up to him and it'll come back cossified in a few weeks
