sr2 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Looking forward to seeing it. I ran a 2.4 YB Holbay Cosworth in a Sierra Targa car for a number of years until I re-powered it with a 4G63 . How could you not help but fall in love with a motor developed by a small team in Northampton that went on to become an international giant killer. A YB Cossi Mk1 'tina has got my interest! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Agreed, especially given that it's going into a pre-airflow two door 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Many would say what you have done to this car is an act of sacrilege. I am not one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are testing my memory now. It had adjustable struts when I bought the car which are still in it. The cross member is a Escort World Cup cross member that was modified to work and the steering rack is an Escort quick rack. I think Retro Ford in the UK do a complete kit for it which would be a good option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha yes there will always be some that would think its a sin and think it should be restored to factory condition. I can understand where they are coming from and its cool to see cars like that too. It would be boring if we all liked the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha yeah its cool standing back and watching that too as well as chatting to people about it. Everyone seems to have a story about them from a past life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browndog Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have seen this car at Caffeine and Classics - love it, so cool, well done! 2 door Mk1 is one of my all time favourites, I have owned 2 of them, and wish I had kept at least one! I just bought a Mk3 Focus RS from a damaged vehicle auction, which I am rebuilding, so I think our tastes are probably similar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look big in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah nice - I haven't actually had any experience with a Mk3 RS but I would love one for a daily. Are you rebuilding to stock condition?
