[quote="Danny B"]Well guys and girls, I keep getting asked for a preview on radders/pennywise escort cosworth conversion and he's asked if I have pics to post so thought its about time I did D:

these pics are the the start and main structure of the tube chassis,









next is position the rear coil overs and fabricate the mounts so that the reat of the rear cage can be added, Then on to the front end for front strut mounts and the engine. :banana:

How much weight is all this tubing adding? Suppose with a big power YB it won't matter too much though!

maybe he already had it? rs turbo engines and bits nad bobs can sell for a fair bit of cash now!

also we have had people come in for a gear box change and spend many thousands of pounds on their cars, so maybe he just went to get his wiper blades swapped and ended up going mad.........

if i remember rightly, from when AR&P had a feature in PF, the RST in question was a shell, no engine, just a bare shell.

I like these guy's style. They are doing it properly. If you are going to do anything like this you may aswell do it like this. Looks like a fantastic project, would love to have the space to give something a go like this. Oh wait I do... I'll go buy a bigger angle grinder

Corsas are far far far too short to have any form of RWD conversion carried out, be it FR or MR confuguration. You would just go in circles.

Something old school would be cool. Like a 4WD Viva

It could feasably be done too. I know the right people who know the right people. I would just need the time and money to do it

In fact, I actually intend on doing some mad car one day. I have too many ideas though
