The owner wanted to carry out as much as possible himself but when it came to taking an angle grinder to his precious shell he was happy to pass that responsibilty on. It was fitted with 4 link boxes and a panhard rod to locate the axle and a pair of rear turrets for some coil over dampers. He then took it away to carry on the long process of rebuilding the car.<br \/>\nWork started in full on another MK1 escort shell we&#8217;ve had for a little while now.\u00a0 This is a proper type 49 RS Shell whcih isn&#8217;t in bad condition either. The owner plans to fit a YB Cosorth engine himself and use it for a weekend and track toy. It&#8217;s a well trodden path to easy power and he&#8217;s dow plenty of research on his final spec beforew&#8217;ve started cutting his shell up. We debated over slipper springs and 4 links or 5 link and turrets or my favourite keep it simple approach of axle location and leaf spring. Theres pros and cons for all but with it being a decent type 49 shell I felt bad for cutting it up! The floor is mostly cut out now for bulkhead mods, diff tunel, transmission tunnel, 4 link boxes and a few general repairs. Turrets and a custom cage will follow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-125\" title=\"DSCF1505\"
