find a few more pics so thought id post them.






then i got offerd a cossy kit for Ł150 on a escort cab so fort id go for it.


i fort the kit looked crap at first,then jus got use to it.

bumper was to short so at to make bigger.


same with the arches.














only got this pic of the back bumper.it took time to cut out the bit were
the boot opens & then make good agen.lots of sanding & filling.loads more to still do.


took this pic when first put wheel spaces on.32mm & they are perfect.

im going to change the front bumper cuz it looks shit.
doesnt go with the kit.goin to get the cossy one agen.



then this is were my project came to a stand still for about 4 months
until i got offerd a 2.0 zetec for free.so could'nt refuse that.my mate had a 1.8 bottom end with all the parts to transfer over & that was free to
just needs wiring up now


put that in & thats it so far.really should pull my finger out & get it done.
would be nice to go ford fair in it.

[quote="zetec turbo mk4"]whats needed to get a zetec in a mk4 escort bud ?cheers lee.. [/quote

depends what engine size you goin 4?
the 1.8 is the best because it wil go straight to your standed gearbox not like the 2.0.

mine was a 1.3 & i had 2 change alot of stuff
but its well worth it
i had a escort cab sat on drive doing nothing though so i robbed most of the bits 4 my van & then put all van stuff on cab & sold it.
you want to get a 3i rolling shell or a turbo 1 it would be abit easier mate.

just a litte update.got a better front bumper,
alot better than that crap delta one.
had to cut 70mm out the middle as its for the mk5 escort & they are abit wider,
i wanted this one as the mk4 escort cossie bumper is'nt very deep & this one is.
looks more like the real cossie bumper.
crap pic's as was taken on phone



desided to get rid of the badboy bonnet as it looked wank





just needs bonding together & i need to get a mk5 cossie grill.
fook nose when ill be doin it though,it prob get sold b4 it's finished.
