i think it was and sprayed black under the bonnet.
the guy that built also ran a shop sell tuning bits.

yep,black satin under bonnet, black sports seats (leather with rear head rests) tec 2 s.wheel,i think and frt seats had 'm' slashes, rear roller blind.
is it the same one?

would only really be benificial to cut the front and inner wings if planning to go for 4x4.

if 2wd then its easier to just make up mounts and mod the sump accordingly.

Why swap the unmatch sound of a straight 6 for a poxy 4 pot and it is a poxy 4 pot F**d (God I can even type it)had to get somebody else to build it for them (all of them burn oil by the mile if it's diesel or not). If you want big power spend less by adding a hover to a 2.5 or if you want a 4x4 an iX.

Oh i forgot the cosworth engine is so shit and has more racing and rallying pedigree than most any other name out there

Another example of un-educated MONG that doesn't know what he going on about

IX running gear is crap compaired to ford.
fords are know to be reliable cars, with cheap to source parts, unfortunalty known for rust.

cosworth turbo is far more superior than a turboed m20. the cosworth lump is designed to be turbo powered.

i had a 1.8 diesel escort was slow but never went wrong, died of rust problems.

204bhp out of the box with easily available 330 bhp for the ever so cheap price of about £700-£800,plus that unmistakable cosworth rumble and turbo ptshhhhh.the unrivalled cosworth pedigree in all forms of motorsport .the self satisfying smug feeling you have from having a motoring icon under your bonnet is just a couple of reasons buy im sure i can think of many more

at the end of the day when the car in question was built e30s
werent worth a light
as far as i remember it had never been done before.
