Hey guys how's everybody doing?
I've not posted much here so bear with me I'm a bit of a newbie
Basically my Escort has recently been involved in a crash, some guy reversed out of his drive straight into the side of the car. The insurance company said it's a write off but I've said bollocks because I can get the damage repaired for a really good price.
Anyway the point is, I've been thinking about actually doing something serious to the car now. At the moment I've only got an induction kit and exhaust system, nothing major but you gota start somewhere right? .
After reading various posts about people wanting to drop new engines in, such as the RS2000 lump, I've been seriously considering this. My only question is; if I do this what else has to be done, i.e. do I need to update chassis / gearbox / brakes etc?
Sorry I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to serious modding so apologies for asking stupid questions. In addition how much would it cost to do a project like this? Furthermore the engine I had in mind would probably be the RS2000 lump, anyone here from Surrey know of any good breakers?
Sorry for the lengthy post, cheers guys.
