Years ago I used to play with vauxhalls so have loads of spares etc.

It has a very apt sticker which says cosworth engines are like clits, every c*nt has one lol.

Yes it is mate, I know very little about these to be fair, but always hankered after one for some reason, it is 6 linked on the back from what i have been told.

Only been out in it once, feels amazing on boost but the brakes, jeez you have to press them well to get them to do anything, think we are all spoilt with servo's etc.

It's a very very clean car, had a lot of welding but all that has mainly been done for the conversion, it just needs a few bits tidying up for my liking and a few bits painted and cleaned up in the engine bay.

    Only had it a matter of hours, will get some tomorrow.

    The amount of people who stopped at the garage and asked if it was for sale whilst it was parked up was un real.


    Sure someone else on here had a lovely White one?

    The c20let engine is a great bit of kit. One of the guys in my local RSOC that i help run has a Riveria Blue Mk2 RS2000 with the same engine in, it goes everybit as well as a YB cossie converted one and is very much more reliable.

    My Mk1 Escort is sat in the garage with the front cut off and I still get people bugging me to sell it!! 18 years ago I paid £600 for mine but prices now are mental, is it cheeky to ask how much yours was?

    As for rust they arent too bad.They only rust in one area.............. between the number plates.

    Don't really want to post it on here but it cost about the price of ten average gti6s, looked at four or five and most were head cases or cars that didn't have the bits finished to a good standard.

    Admittedly this needs a few bits but the worst has been done.

    A few pictures, just had to go to the garage and sort a puncture out, grr








    Anyone guess where these wheels originally came from?
