Phil Collins has an Escort Cosworth WRC rear diff/suspension set up on his car.

The Mk2 with the Scooby running gear belongs to John Hickey but from the side it looks very strange......

Theres a few Mk1/2's been done using a Sierrs/Escort Cosworth floorpans & inner wings, running gear etc but if its using all these parts then ultimately it'll handle like a Sierra or Escort and not a Mk2 ???

I am not using a sierra floorpan....

Look at say an escort WRC car...basically a space frame from suspension pickup points to engine to box with a escort cossie shell around it...
