The backbox and center section need to go, you could hear it causing a problem. You're not far off with that guess actually..
Are you going on Sunday?

Just read the whole thing here Euan and I am crapping myself now! LOL
I knew I was gonna spend a fortune when I started, but fekking hell! I'm only about half way through!
Ah well, I'll post a proper before and after in about 2-3 years. Hopefully I'll do an interim one in a few weeks when I get the car back!!

Depends on how far you want to go with the car mate.
My engine in an escort with a proper 4x4 system would be amazing!

I finally got the car on the track this weekend and had a blast!
The car was very very planted and quite controllable on the power.
I was first in the paddock and was really nervous for some reason
Maybe taking a 550bhp Rwd cossie on a soaking race track had something to do with it
Fast Ford were in attendance so expect to see some pics in the mag soon.
Lined up with Tac's new saf.
coming out of the hair pin was fun, I only spun it once
me chasing Phil
Phils Escort getting atank slapper into duffus
Aly getting pushing me into duffus
me chasing Alstair.
me and big Dave.
Teh car ran faultlessly for the 2 hour session and really did impress me, anyone says that cossies arent good track cars is wrong!

Happily retired
Im sad at the sudden selling of this car Euan was looking forward to you breaking the 190 barrier this year. I think I read that the new owner is a Topspeed man so you may yet see your creation get there. All the best in what you planning to do in the future.

Well folks its the end of an era as the breaking started on the cossie tonight and it will be fully stripped by the end of the week.
ECU was first to come off along with plates and tax.
RIP B8 COS
