Default Help me decide......

A few months back i took my sapphire cosworth off the road for the winter and due to noise diff and few other jobs tht needed doing...

My plan through the winter was to rebuild the box and fit a new diff, and uprate the power from a already respectable 421bhp to past the magic 500 barrier... but i cant decide wether or not to do all this work on my sapphire or take this opportunity to build something a bit different/special... Ive got plenty of time and workshop space to do so but i just dont kno wot to do??

Wot do you reckon? Work on the saff? Restore it to its former glory with serious power? or go for something a bit newer/different/rwd escos?

A good friend of mine last yr built a 4wd Cosworth 206 WRC and reckons i should build a rwd focus cossie or something like tht... Is this a yay idea or a gay idea...


Pls help...any ideas/info ppl......

tbh id stick with the saf as its only a few things you need to do

with doing the focus its finding one, then stripping and start fabricating for the new shell to accept the running gear

which you could get bored with at some tme thinking its taking ages and it looks like your getting no where

at least with the saf its not that much time and effort to get up and running again to have some fun with

think i would go for a new car, escort cos maybe.

shame to put too much money in a saff shell.

As for engine, that would be well enough for me on road or track.

enjoy it what ever you decide.

Thts the only thing really tht puts me off the saff, putting more money into something tht wil never be worth as much as a three door or a escos...
