^ lol…money is tight right now, but it shouldnt be an issue in a month or two. i want this thing in my head a reality, so i can laugh at the entire focus community for telling me i couldnt do it. and then im gonna make 10 more and sell them for a huge profit. lol
i need to get over to a dealer parts department to enquire on the cost of some brand new parts for said car, as a rough estimate for if i develop a full turnkey/bolt on kit.

i wont be finding a cosworth at an auction. only 7 exist road legal in the US…beleive me lol.
canada has a few, but i havent seen one for sale there in about 6 months.
importing one from the UK is going to cost me at least $25k for the car, plus shipment and conversion to NY standards.
this is for a way more practical and readily available luxury sports sedan. :snky:

I thought you were going to do some kind of Cosworth conversion. I know how you always were talking about owning one someday.

all im willing to say at this point, is that the focus community on the forums told me i would never be able to design and built what i am/have to make the focus what im going to make it, and within the budget i know i can do it within given a parts car. once i get the parts car i will slowly leak more info on what im doing, and most likely be contacting hybrid about a few questions, but not until the time comes.
