Our current project build of a full chassied Mk 1 Escort with Cosworth YB engine is being featured in Practical Performance Car magazine over several months and is coming along well. We started with a fairly rusty Mk 1 Escort shell and removed almost everything except the roof, window frames, boot frame and door frames. We then proceeded to construct a tubular chassis and integral roll cage to carry all the running gear. We made a ‘flip front’ actually flip, just like the good old days, and we are well on the way with a one off body kit. The 3 piece wheels are from Image and are 9 x 15 fronts and 11 x 15 rears. When we built the green Mk 2 RS 2000 which also had a full chassis, we made one small error. IT WAS TOO SUBTLE. We are determined that this car will get noticed.
