Default 1982 mk3 Escort 3door ** pics up**

decided to test the water with my mk3 escort

2 previouse owners.
47 thousand miles,
1.1 4speed . auto choke
5 months mot left
taxxed currently also

mechanicaly fine . been using it as a glorified push bike to get to the gym and back

this was ziebarted from new so the chassis ect is perfect. not a spec of rust underneath

the only welding i can see that its had that i can see is to the battery tray (could have been done.bettter tbh but is solid)

carabian blue in colour. paints not to bad actually. some overspray on one quarter
passed its last mot with no advisorys :-P

Im in no rush to sell this, and it what it is. has variouse bits of fluffyness around the shell (all surface i might add)

this is a propperly solid little escort and one hundred percent original. im prepared to to remove the carpet to show buyyers the floor pan
any inspection welcome

its a two bolt shell so woild make a great rs1600i rep

viewing is strongly urged and genuine enquierys only please, could do without people coming round and trying to give me 50p for it

asking price is what i payyed for it a year ago
£1300

will get pics up as soon as im at the computer

Originally I planned to bastardise this little beaut into a rs1600 but IMO it's to original and would be a shame.

Also lack of time and to many projects means a few have to go. Will be really sad to see this gone

That's so cool.have you tried retrorides?
There are a lot of timewasters on there but also they would appreciate it's originality and I believe their cheap to insure as well?
