this may upset a few ford fans

[rusty82]

this will be interesting about what you guys and girls think and input is very welcome.

weekend im going around all the scrap yards measuring wheel basses and

floor pans. the idea is get rusty (mk5 cortina)cut the body off and fit it to another floor pan....done lots of projects for other people

escort cossy with capri body roof chop a beetle etc so i thought why not do one for me plus i could get the body real low....

the reason for this is i want a strut front end and irs rear keep the body standard but without the rust.

I was looking at a thread yesterday on Retro Rides where a guy is doing exactly the same thing with a Mazda MX5 and a Mini Clubman Estate. It's going to be epic when it's finished.

sounds good to me any ideas rwd 4wd turbocharged? havent got the time but always wondered how a osf estate of somekind would go like with a audi rs4 running gear under it i imagine rather well

found a old supra turbo with major panel damage low millage fsh and its only 2mm longer in wheelbase....... visiting afew salvage yards during next week to buy a couple of cars and ill take the tape measure along just in case. be nice if i can keep it all ford and find a escort cossy lol in my dreams,

Doesn't upset me, I love this stuff, looking forward to the build thread

I like the idea but wonder what the situation would be with insurance when I look at these sort of projects

 

Always fancied an S14 powered OSF

 

 

Happy hunting
