Default Rst parts prices

WTF is going on with the prices folk are listing stuff at.....ah don't care if standard is the in thing...fuck off with these outrageous prices......fk me it's an escort these cars were made for the every man ....

AV sold loads of rst stuff over the years and am shocked that fellow Rst guys are asking these prices for stuff...80 quid for a. 2nd hand standard cooler ...150 for fkd ugly s1 side skirts......fk me AV gave stuff away in better Nick..

Rst guys turning into cossie guys with prices nowadays...


Rant over

It's one of the reasons my ERST has got a zetec in it now. Wanted to go EFI but got fed up of people trying to milk my wallet.

Its messing with peoples attitudes as well. I tried selling some RST parts at very resonable prices during my zetec build, and all anyone asked is "whats wrong with it?" as it must be broken/no good because it's too cheap.

There is a lad in Blackpool who usually has loads of parts on the shelf, do you want me to ask him for you?

I'm just away to start a mk4 cabby efi zvh turbo project.
I think I have a lot of bits plus an Orion ghia for spares.
I have thrown out 88 & 90 spec clocks before as they are worthless.
Needing a few parts,Facebook is useful for some parts.

people think because its a classic the parts are worth classic prices as well. Scrapyards don't get in older cars now as most have either been scrapped or stored away so the supply is drying up. Its a shame, some of the best fords i've had cost me absolute peanuts or been given to me but I know i'll never have another escort/sapphire due to the cost and parts supply problems. Ruined it for me unfortunately.
