Hi Gase!

I'm sure someone has at least wondered about it. Escort won't do, because it is a frontwheel driven car (well, most versions of it that are left are) and would need a lot of work. Sierra Cosworth would be just fine, but would also need a lot of work. Also some MOT specs. might give a lot of headache, at least in countries where these Scorps were never type approved with a turbo. It's a thought, but why bother when it's a lot easier to just go on and buy a nice 24V.

Sierra Cosworth would be the best donator, but Sierra and Scorpio are from a different planet alltogether. Scorps was never intended to be a "streetracer", but of course it can be built to be one.
