Add up the costs, a brand new Bluesprint engine you are looking at somehwere in the region of 5k (that turbo alone is 1k's worth!) all the other ancilliaries, then converting a mk4 Escort shell to run a proper Cossie beam (not the usual Atlas axle and 4 link kit which is far easier to install and won't work nearly as well)

Add up all the other bits and a complete build cost will be well over 10k!!!

Martin, if you wanted to make your RS500s road legal they would go on a Q plate!! It's the same deal with this, not necessarily stolen just obviously not a normal mk4 Escort...
