At least when the rust is gone you can feel happy that you and your car have another 10 years at least rust free.

Was this EsCos not for sale on www.mobile.de ?

Looks nice (apart from the rust)

Unfortunately all fords rust I've also did have an EsCos with a lot of rusty parts. It came from the border Germany / Austria (always driven in the mountens and snow )

I've sold it , and bought an other EsCos

Hi Tony

the guys at Post Motorsport are ok, if I need parts then I always give them a look.

Bought Rear drive shafts from Herbert last month, perfect.
