Default do i put a cossie lump in a s1 or escort van?

rite i possibly wanna put a cossie lump in a mk3/4 escort.

ive got a highly modded orange escort van (fast ford featured) which has has every thing possible done and looks really smart.

now id like the lump in this but im thinking when i go to sell it on would it be a lot easier to sell a cossie powered s1 than a escort van?

if i went for the s1 then it would mean finding a minter, where as ive already got a mint van????????

HELP lol

So you want to use the van because you wont need to do so much welding/repair work to the shell.

Do you know how much work its going to be to get a YB in a FWD car. Im assuming you want to run it Rear or 4wd.

Ive been wanting to do this to a S1 for ages, wont do it to my current mk3 shell as ive already done too much work on it as it is, so I went and sourced another S1 shell a few weeks ago to do it with, but I bought a saph just afterwards so not got any money left

Do it with a S1 Gaables doesnt have to be a minter to start with as your going to be chopping it up anyway

I did think about 4x4 cossie AX, would be stupidly light but not very safe
