  • escort mk.2 cosworth.

    About time i put a thread up on here,too busy looking and reading everyone elses.

    i bought the car with most panels been replaced so the shell is in excellent condition.

    the car will be having a cosworth engine fitted into it,got used to the power with owning them for over 13 years,so i could not have anything other than that engine.

    i wanted the car to have the normal mods to it to handle the power etc....so with a lot of asking about about the cost,bits,fitting etc...i ended up buying 99% of the parts needed form Phil and Mick at RACE,excellent parts and excellent lads for info etc....

    i then needed someone to fit them.....and with the help of Ickey and Kev off Turbosport,i got in touch with Paul, an ex-gartrac employee , after talking to him about the mods etc....he is now going prep the shell to grp.4 spec and going to fit all the parts i bought it.


    here are a good few pics of the car and the parts bought that are going to be fitted...not sure when though.









    some of the bits bought....









































    a nice brand new T4 turbo.




    after Paul has had the shell for a bit this is his hard work...


















    sorry for all the pics but the project started a while back.



    well the car went into my mate Neils bodyshop, he has done a bit to it but been busy with other cars and i did tell him not to finish it just yet as i have the escort cosworth in the garage that i have to break because of someone pulling out on me.

    at least i now have a 500+ bhp motor to put straight in with water injection and all the modded fuel pump set up.

    here are a few while at the bodyshop....













    will post up when Neil progresses with it.

                      thanks lads for the replies.

                      all depends on Neil at the body shop on how much work he does on it, then i wil keep it updated.

                      Graham,

                      it will be radiant red.
