escort needs little jobs liek bulbs and a good polish but teh biggest thing is the gearbox appears to be shite

i put plenty of work into it but once it was together teh box acted up so i lost interest, its all been welded for the mot, replacement loom, suspension, loads of things put right

needs a couple of days and she'd be good to go, comes with loads of spares too

worth double that with an mot, track it and break it and you wouldnt lose either


the fiesta in better pics


after a wash and a door she'd look mint, if anybody has got a door shout me

may get one painted tho, needs the filler area painted neways

sorry mate but all I saw from that lot was 'bought it in the dark' !!!!?? fucking suicide isn't it with any car, let alone an old ford!?

I hope it's a good one, looks nice, just hope it aint got things hidden like Paul R's did have!

Best of luck mate!

at the price i gave it shud be a breaker

i knew about what was up and had a good poke about but even if the 1/4 fell off on the way home i'd be happy

the sills are original til the rear section and the arches have nothing creeping out of the kit so its better than any other frst ive owned

couple ive had before, well mostly how they end up
