andy did the first i saw a1 rally sport did one to
have you already got the car

DanJWRC

yes i have a jwrc kited mk6 fez,

jacko

would be around the 2k mark for fabrication mate then there is paint and a doner car that you will need

DanJWRC

do u meen the fabrication of my car to get all to fit?
and is that rwd or 4x4 and would i have to get all the parts ontop of that??
And what are they besides a engine and box lol
cheers for replieing too

jacko

you would need everything that makes the engine work all engine harnes rear beam prop and then the prop needs to be shortened the entire floor needs redoing to match cosworth runningear then you need to make the engine bay accept the engine and cross member and the suspension front and rear needs some where to go

or if you aint bothered about interior you could space frame it

Well the car is van derived so theres not much to it any way its in fastford this month near the back, whats the rear beam taken from and what prop? so the entire suspension gets moved??
Sounds like more hastle than i thought lol i was hoping 28capri back axel bit of cuting and welding here and there and wang a cossie in it lol

DanJWRC

i wish pal its a derv haha but iv it in the workshop at the moment going to do some sort of trasplant with with it its jwrc kited so i want the go to match the show

jacko

its a lot of work mate and you need to be good with a welder and you will need some sort of jig to do it on and have all the measurements from a cosworth and the other thing is it wont handle with 2wd as its a short wheel base car and the wide track egzagurates this problem

Dan1281

you would be basically removing anything that makes your car go and replacing it with everything that makes an escort/sierra cosworth go

diffs, shafts, hubs, suspension, brakes, gearbox, engine, wiring, you would have to cut half of your floor out for the rear diff and propshaft, or just cut your floor out and graft a re-sized cosworth floor in

DanJWRC

and im led to belive the 4x4 is 3times as expensive

jacko

depends how much power you want but if you go 2wd it will never go the direction you want it to or go round corners

DanJWRC

about 300bhp to start with i had in mind

jacko

4x4 is fine with tha amount aspecialy as it wont weigh much

DanJWRC

so whos best to contact for some prices to send a bare jwrc shell to?

jacko

it would be atleast 2 3 month before i could do it so try ag motorsport
