Well its coming together now.....

Homemade jobbie not yet finished.mountings for engine are being fabricated now and gearbox mounts are in position to accept box as per photos,and the exhaust route as shown just need enough room to allow fitting of fuel tanks at low level in front of the axle and below propshaft split to each side

Looks to be a top class build, and like others have said MK1 styling with modern suspension and power is a big
Noticed a nice cosworth powered one forsale justnow on pistonheads.

Engine is now in the car, and here are a few pictures of the car with the engine in the hole, and the car outside SHP. For those who are interested in the cars themselves there is now a dedicated race series starting next year for these rsr escorts in whatever form you wish to take v8 v6 4cylinder and whatever gearbox etc you wish and the cars will have different categories to run in depending on spec. More details will be found shortly on the dedicated Facebook page found at www.facebook.com/shprsr or by contacting sonny or Mel at Shp engineering on 01353 861168

It TOTALLY depends if you are building it yourself or having it built.

Doing it yourself? still probably easy Ł30k+

Paying someone Ł60+ PER HOUR to design, fabricate and build it? SOO much more.

Rolling shell at 10k reckon you could put one together for 20k easily depending on your running gear and spec.

in essence its a kit car so just build it with the IVA rules in mind and it should pass IVA and be road legal no problem.

Just remember to use the right combination of new/donor parts to avoid a Q plate if it bothers you.

The rear lights are gash!
Other than that, the RSR is epic! Provides a great inspiration to get on with my own escort. Just need to know if the RSR front spoiler will fit a steel bodied escort?

Quick update, The cars has been to and from SHP having brackets made for the alternator that runs of the axle and a few other things that have changed, and no doubt Lloyd will update him self.

But the engine and the gearbox is now in, it has been sent to Pro Alloy, to have all the tanks made bespoke, including his own design of fuel tank that is low and across the rear. This i think had then been powder coated.

From there it was straight on to Simpsons to make again bespoke complete manifold(s) and exhaust system.

So its getting there......Be ready for Spa next march at this rate

Well it's been on the rollers and was out having a shakedown at Snetterton yesterday. The nearest thing to an F1 car in a Mk1 escort.....
