cheers all yes it took some hours of blood sweet and all most divorce to get it completed plus doing night work, then finishing and starting work on your own car never went down well with the wife lol
but it was all worth it in the end i do have loads of pics on a cd of the whole build step by step

Not me on eBay only piston heads at the moment I finished the build a year ago Mot.d and taxed it but never got it done in time for ford fair so decided to take it back of the road to finish the engine build and up spec it as it was only 280 bhp and I wanted 400 bhp so it all came back out for new pistons re worked head greys and the inlet and exhaust manifold to be built Then the re map
Will do the conversion for any one that's interested when it comes to the price it all depends how much you wanted done ie just the fab work on your car depending on the condition of your car starts at £2500 but can go up from there to £4000 thats you supplying your car and what ever spec cossie donner car then when done driving your car away Cossie powered

Not a bad price range for a cossie conversion, How long would it take and do you fab all engine/gearbox/axle mounts? or use sierra floor pan ?

no painting etc is extra, a straight shell fab starts at 2.5k thats just all the shell ready to take all the running gear etc. then if you want a running car then thats around 3.5-4k and thats you supplying a full running saff donor car. Then if you want tubular manifld sweedish inlet, engine builds, chips, and mapping etc then thats all down to customers requirements and how much you want to spend and wot power you want

It's all done a bit different to the normal sierra front middle and back floor way, I only use the middle part ie tunnel the front and rear is all still mk3 escort just parts fabricated and modified I wanted to keep the engine bay bulk head and inner struts looking like should and use as much of the escort as possible yet built so every think just bolts in place even down to using the escort fuel tank but moving it to the back.
it's just the way i wanted to do it most people do the full sierra floor but its down to persnal choice
