Lee's MK1 Cossie Powered Escort Rebuild
This was how the car looked after Phase 1... 2.1 pinto powered,respray etc
Lee then decided he wanted cossie power with wide arches etc and the Phase 2 rebuild started from there!

thanks for the comments .
the boot is being sprayed next week , we left the boot till last because
the guys at radtec needed to fit the pumps & swirl pot in so rather than
them having to worrie about scratching the boot we decided to leave it till
last . im hoping to have it running by the end of this month .
i must say a big thanks to marco because with out his input the car would
never have been built
cheers lee

awesome! never seen the front anti roll bar like that, looks mor like some sort of WRC thing than rs18?Is that a watts 6 linked English too, as I've never seen that done either,I did see a rear loading English the other day at Yukspeed, not an Atlas, but an English!That car has gotta be one of the best!
