Newbie style question here.

[School boy1]

As Escorts are so popular for motorsport and tuning, is it possible to buy a brand new shell?

 

If so, could you make a brand new car from all new bits produced from specialist companies and parts that already exist?

 

Cheers,

not unless someone has one hidden away somwhere

[davreeve]

i heard that some one was thinking of making new fibreglass ones but i dont know if they actually did

[School boy1]

Bugger.

I was hoping that I would be able to build one when I was older.

 

So once they are gone, they are gone

And even pants shells will be silly money

there was a brand new shell for sale on a ford site last year,but the admin locked the post so no one could see it

[School boy1]

There must be enough interest for one of these companies to make new ones?

 

There is this one company that build Mini, MG and Jag shells, so there is hope

i've heard that the problem is that mg kept all of the tools to make the shells, whereas ford destroyed all of theirs, means that if someone were to reproduce the shells, they'd have to start from scratch
