Here's some pics of my cossie'd MK2 Escort. I originally bought it as a completely bare group4 shell with the intention of building a decent track day car. After spending the next 3½ years building it up from scratch it finally made it back onto the road (hasn't seen a track yet!). At about 980kg and 355bhp it's a bit of a handfull, but so much fun.

Cheers
Neil

You Sir have my (almost) dream car, although personally I'd have opted for a non turbo lump. But aesthetically that is perfect.

Well done.

Lovely job OP. smile Even as an RS2000 owner myself, there's something about the flat front Mk2s that I really like especially with the big arches. cloud9

A Cossie'd MK2 Escort! It's brilliant even though in some ways it's so wrong. Outstanding.
