Did you build yours in a similar way to how i did mine? (see link.) How are you getting on and are you happy with the work so far, will be starting back on mine in the summer.

yes thats how mine was done. and that was the easy bit
the rear end is the hard part. brom at zoo makes some nice cos adjustable rear suspension.with a few plates welded in it should be easy to fit a cos rear suspension

if you put the cos rear beam under your escort, you will find that none of the mounting points are near the chassis,i cut out the sierra rear chassis and overlayed it onto the escort,then plated all the gaps.i used 2mm steel plate at the cosworth mounting points.i have some pics but they are too blurred to post.
