Chaps, on my shelf i have a escort cabrio and a bastos rs500, i keep looking at them and thinking to myself, shall i put the cossie motor, and wheels and all the other bits associated to make the escort rwd onto my escort, and then ilook again and think nah, it will leave me with a cossie as just a shell, but then i i had another thought, along the lines of sticking a pinto in the rs500 shell, smoothing the grill off, and getting rid of the rear spoiler, thus making it a retro pinto'd 3 door, paint it blue like all old sierra's use to be and matt black the bumpers and i have 2 models again. but i keep stopping myself. shall i shan't i, i just don't want to regret it lol cheers robin |

good idea on the sierra but if you rob parts to convert the escort to be rwd then the rs wont be
