looks great and great work gone into it.

Still think youre more fucking insane than me to convert a FWD shell rather than buy a cossie shell.

But if you keep it for the long term then guess it doesnt matter.

Out of interest, whats insurance as a FWD highly modified escort with cossie conversion like when compared to an equivilent genuine car??

Ive noticed a lot of cars where people fit higher spec engines are more expensive to insure because they are "modified" than buying the higher spec car to start with. Eg a 1.4 puma with 1.7 engine is more to insure than a 1.7 puma despite with the conversion they are now identical cars.
