Aye I'm sure iv seen it before somewhere, says its DVLA recognised and recorded as an escort cosworth

[the youth]

My old mate Dave alwood built that car from a new trimmed shell from Ford, I actually helped get the new shell off the transporter!
He built several around that time, that one was built for a guy that had a moonstone 3door, which he sold to pay for the escort, Dave was big in the Cosworth world back then and prepped a lot of rally/rally cross Cosworth's and had some good contacts at Borham, he had an Aladdin's cave of parts, I'm told there stashed away somewhere but I haven't seen Dave in 10 years.

Back then you could buy a trimmed shell, doors ,boot, bonnet, dash, etc from ford

When it was built there was nothing wrong with it at all it was exactly the same as a factory built car, I've not seen it in about 15 years tho
