1988 escort rsturbo 85% complete project
i first purchased my escort as a project here it is the day i got it
i found out parts of the floor, both front wings, both rear arches, inner and outer sills both sides and rear chassis rails were rotten and it was just a really poorly modified and tatty car with a hole saw taken to everything it could be

right i think those pictures should suffice. the car as it sits needs both rear 4x4 cossie calipers and hoses and a brake bia valve fitting which i have, drivers side rear quarter needs to be re painted as it had a bad reaction, it needs two new tires a small bit of fuel line from the tank to the the fuel pipe that runs to the front of the car both the bonnet and the hatch are tatty and needs new ones really and it needs the supplied 90s spec interior in very good condition to be fitted.
those are the bad points the good bits are
i have full history inc mots and alot of recipts i am the 5th owner of this car!
Standard engine in the car !!
it has (as already said)
a 4x4 cossie stage 2 t3,

baileys dump valve,
samco hoses ,
standard air box with k and n filter
cts gearbox with atb quaife lsd
helix 4 paddle clutch
2wd 4 pot front calipers with ebc drilled and groved discs

i remember seeing this on ebay ages ago, think i read it saying it was a track car or something.
anyway after all the effort why brake it?
id be interested in the bonnet if its in really good condition, no rust, scratches etc?
the rear wishbones?
are the springs standard mm or dropped?
did you replace the fuel tank?
is the fuel pump cradle any good?
is that a scorpion or mongoose exhaust and what size 3" or 4"
pm me with the above details if you wanna break parts

Yeh shell has had all the rot cut out and is solid at a small fortune lol ! So if someone is after a project this is a very solid base to go with and some very good parts to build a great rst as the engine in the car is standard but a spare bottom half with forged pistons and head turbo chip to match good power

Is this your boys car you were telling me about over the phone jay?
Seems a shame to break it as I remember all the work you had both put in.
Hope it sells/breaks ok.
