Mk2 Escort Cosworth Build

[MMC]

Well this is my escort,have owned it over ten years,been dry stored most of that time,decided to make a start on it about 18 months ago,don't get as much time as i'd like to work on it,only the odd evening so it'll take a while,have a newly built 500+bhp cosworth engine that came out of my sapphire cosworth ready to go in when the time comes,car is fully caged,adjustabe four linked rear with adjustable watts link,turrets,tubbed,raised floor,transmission and exhaust tunnels,bulk head moved back about 10 inches




Using an old cosworth engine for mock up,its mounted using a group4 chassis mount kit,the engine is moved back about 10 inches for better weight distribution



Had to extend and strengthen the chassis,decided to remove the bulkhead a fabricate a new one





Start of the bulkhead







Inner wings made











Then onto the footwell/splash panels







Will get some more pics up tomorrow
