i had one for a while ages ago, payed 300 quid for it

but now it depends on condition, mine was black with NON tinted windows


red ones are now the only ones left thatb ya find in good condition

remember the cabrios are just reworked escort estates so the parts of them are east to find and the doors are the same as a 3door escort

sounds like a good idea,woul i b better of just dropping the whole
engine and suspension out of the bottom,it should be possible
to get the whole lot done in a weekend shouldnt it,i think the worst
bit is going to be the fuel lines cause ive got to do it in my back
garden so will have to lay on the grass or try and find a big sheet to
put down on the floor

yeh thats going to be the worst bit getting the tank and pump out
and the fuel lines aswell,so i wont be able to use the rad from the
estate then,i wont be using the standard erst intercooler though so
will that make a difference

oh right so i might be able to squeeze the inter cooler pipes through
ive done that on my car at the moment on the o/s and the pipe comes
into the engine bay just above the alternator,i would be best to use the
erst rad then and try and move it a bit more central that way it will allow
a bit more cool air to the air filter
