Squint just cut the whole front end off another escort and welded it all in. So it had the TCAs, AR bar etc .Just on the rear.
As with all projects

ADSRST,
Hi,
I did this to my S2 a short while ago.
Believe me mate, cut your losses and stop now.
After spending around £10,000 on the car the DVLA condemed it.
The whole car was built on a one off jig to ensure it was all welded straight and every thing.
I used 2No 2.1ZVH engines both with Mondeo MTX75 gearboxes (with Cable gear change and hydraulic clutch for easier set up).
They claim that because the car was a one off they would not know how it would react in a crash and condemed it from road use.
I was gutted. I spent nearly 2 years building it and all for nothing.
If you just want a track car then great carry on.
If you want road use, forget about it.
Buy a standard one.
Sorry to break the news mate.
Matt.
I'll try and get some photos put on to CD and down load them of my twin engined S2.
