While the car looks great and boy would I like one, I have to ask the question....... why? 
I can understand the 1.8T conversions and all of the other VW engine swaps but why a Ford engine? Folks can get the same BHP from a VW can't they?
The 1.8T wasn't out when this was built

At the time, the cossie engine was the most tuneable in a "bang per buck" sense, even when the 1.8T arrived it wasn't until the last 2 years or so that it's full potential has been realised.
