This started life as a 1.6 auto but has been professionally transformed in to a rear wheel drive 360bhp

Quote:

it has a rebuilt low compression cosworth engine which is running at 360bhp

Imagine ringing up for insurance in that.........

**Forest** · 08 December 2004, 09:41

think i seen this. half the price of a cossie too

**pablo** · 08 December 2004, 09:44

the gold rims dont do it any favours. other than that it looks like a good conversion.

**Karlos Da Jackle** · 08 December 2004, 10:13

Looks well.,., but id prefer the real mc coy!!! yep. and not a big lover of the rims.,. prefer standard, or the same one's as designated driver!

**pablo** · 08 December 2004, 10:16

the 18" rondals look amazing on a cossie - defo be my choice!

**Lyons** · 08 December 2004, 10:45

as do azev a's

**Marc** · 08 December 2004, 10:48

Have to agree on that, Azev's look pish on any Cossie Escort especially in Gold :?

Know a Sierra being built at the moment which is a similar setup as that and will be a beast when it hits the road!!

Would be an interesting buy to say the least but would not like to wrap or roll it cause it could turn into a sticky situation with the Insurance company, plus originals can be bought for around £15k...

I hope they uprated the 1600 brakes

**MacGyver** · 08 December 2004, 14:15

Tasty, but it would have been far nicer in standard mk5 escort bodywork with a V8 powering the rear wheels. Now that would be tasty.

can't beat a bit v8 action under the bonnet

**Arouser** · 08 December 2004, 23:06

surely cuttin the panels to fit them arches on would make that thing have the structural strength of a tissue box?? or is tht a swap the panels jobbie?

**MacGyver** · 09 December 2004, 00:03

Fronts are fibre glass bolt on's and the rears are pop-rivoted onto the exsisting arches which are then cut back accordingly, no more than any other bubble arch work etc and lets face facts, most of em are 70bhp replica's and structural strength isnt a major worry.

I woulnt care if it was a five door with neon washer jets and max power stickers all over! 360 horse to the rears is not to be argued with!
