well just got bak from my holiday to find people still goin on about this car!!!!!!!!

the pics have gone as i have recieved an email from photobucket saying i have exceeed my limit this month so they will be bak on in a few weeks when the month rolls ova

when the floors were cut out of this it had no floor pans at all & at 1 point had no inner sills as they were rotten! this is where it all went pete tong!

the shell nipped upo in the middle & it wasnt realised untill all the floor pans were put in & tunnel etc..... when doors were refitted the stuck out from half way along the bottom, running out more as they went back untill there was 1 1" gap at the back corner (both sides)

at 1st i thought this was just cos the door hadnt a rubber & when push out level it would be ok??? but it wasnt & thought maybe it was the pattern part pannels being a shit fit & maybe had pulled the sills/arch in????

by this time i was goin offshore in a weeks time for 2 moths & the car was goin 4 paint so i nipped the doors up (cut/welded) & thought the problem was resolved

the car came back from paint & all seemed good & the build continued, i was nearly 10k & 2 yrs into this car & decided 2 sell it so it was posted 4sale

when i fitted the car up a few weeks later the inner doors hit the seat bolsters! (THE SHELL HAD NIPPED UP IN THE MIDDLE)

i wishdrew the car from sale & was goin 2 break it but decided i couldent pull it appart as it "looked so pretty" i offerd this bloke a deal & done the deal

i was offshore & after many emails & phone calls to the bloke we decided to swap, i gpt home after 2 months & drove 9 hrs on my own 2 dundee in a recovery truck with the mk3, i got there at 10pm! it was dark & i was tired, i hadnt drove 9hrs just to look at the car had i!

me & a few boys from up north loaded off the mk3 & the escort cossie was started, looked around & put onto the truck. as it looked ok & after 2 months of emails/calls i didnt think the seller wasnt genuine

i then drove 9 hrs home on my todd to find the sills were rotton on the escort cossie & when warm the turbo plumed smoke & the tap from the engine that was ment 2 go when (so i was informed) didnt go, all 4 tyres were bald & it had allot of minor trims/clips missing

i spoke 2 the boy i got it off & he was men t2 post me all trims he had in his shed & sort sumthin out about the turbo & ide swallow the sills, this was untill he got home from work & no doubt all his mates influenced him 2 "jog me on" & he turned his phone off

he knew the car was bent all along & wanted it as he swa what every1 else sees, a nice shiney cool mk3 escort that doesnt look bent.

after he ripped me off as such & then tried 2 sell the car as straight i thought ide get my own back

im not that botherd about the deal as all good things come 2 those who wait & i have sold the cossie 2 my brother & have rebuilt the engine & its having the sills done very soon & itll be a nice motor.

i wouldnt trust this seller as far as i could throw his but thats up to u guys.

its a shame as its a nice motor & does looks the bollox but im goin 2 build another 1 useing more braceing & a whole sierra floors & innerwings.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm WHY WOULD I SELL THIS 1 2 BUILD ANOTHER?????????????

EASY

COS ITS A BENDER!

[COLEYST200]

Lets hope this now puts it to bed now mate so you can move on . Its good that you have told the hole story so every one nows the truth about this .

[mole123]

What a BENDER.. lol

Regards Mole.

[CRAIG HAYTER]

Thats not the story at this end Rossie as i said i looked over the mk3 and looks good too me Rossie there's NO WAY ON EARTH that you would through all that money into a bent car!!!or if you did you must be PROPER thick?as said before you made out it was the best thing since sliced bread and now its shite because you dont have it

[boothy]

Think its a joke mate,Whats it like craig reet pukka or what?

[rosie]

yes i agree the car looks a goof job as it was all done a1, thats why i put dont let all the bling/niceness blind u into thinking " it cant be bent" when it is

everybody on here sees the blingness & it looks straight so it "must be" as thats what fooled me when building it. the car has nipped up in the middle so is shaped like pamla anderson

as said a pic of the doors will prove all

case rested

as for puting ŁŁŁŁ into it yer i did as didnt know how bent it was till the end as stated b4
hence i got rid

didnt have the time 2 break it or ide have got more back maybe but most of ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ is in the shell & thats whats fookerd

[give it some stick]

roll on the next build then mate will be waiting to see it!!

[Rikochet]

HA HA HA HA HA! What a dick. The MK3 may or may not have been bent. TBH who cares? How much would it seriously cost to reshell it? You said you hadn't driven 9 hours to view the car? Seems a bit blasé if you ask me especially when you consider the work that you put into the MK3 and the fact you turned down other Escorts! You didn't think to take the Cossie for a five minute drive to heat up the turbo and see if it was smoking? Nope you just stuck it on the truck and fucked off back to England! Remember Bannockburn mate. HA HA HA HA HA

[155lee]

oops,i was very impressed with the way you did the conversion but i can see how it ended up like it did.i think folk are assuming it was bent before you did all the work,but the doors arent exactly the 1st thing you put on when doing something like this so i can see how it went so far before you realised it had shrunk in the middle.it does look a nice car and im sure it wont affect how the car drives,but i wouldnt like to try and fit a s2 kit to it!sounds like it was a fair deal,an unfinished mk3 with 'issues' for an escos with 'issues'.

im the 1 thats ended up with english cash in the pocket from all of this so i aint complaing

think the log book has been sent of as scrap now for the mk3 bender

[brownpantsracing]

Rosie, Appreciate the honest reply and full account finally.

If the new owner would post a pic of the doors as the car is now all will easily be revealed! Seems unwilling to do this though!

Better luck on the next build!

dont bring countries into it for god sake!

if you (or yer mate) did do that with the V5 mate, that was a pretty childish thing to do, even if you were pissed off with all this.

[pip7rs]

right cant believe this is still goin on lol, just got a phone call from my mate sayin this was still ongoing and should get on and get pics up and defend myself but to be honest im no too bothered, but before i say anymore on the subject can someone please tell me how i get pics up on here cheers

[pip7rs]

[pip7rs]

[gray_rs]

All looks good to me

[pip7rs]

right theres the pics too keep all you people whoever it concerns happy

had a little play with the doors there this afternoon as its the 1st time ive touched the car and after a little messing bout sorted the gaps out a bit etc, maybe not 100% but they will be in the end and to be honest the wings have not been put on correct looks like they have been fitted without hanging the doors and ligning them up so may be a case of redoing them ill soon see.

and as for rosie saying i knew it was bent etc cmon u really think id swap for a bent car no matter how rotten my escos was or how many gay and shiny bling bits on the mk3 wouldnt have swapped it for a bent car and im sure none of my mates who where there that nite too would have took it as they're all ford daft and know what there talking about they would have sent you packin back home with your bent car, and fair enough u may have sent the v5 off as scrapped but i sent my v5 off for it and recieved a log book!

and all the other comments and bitching ive not really got time to reply to them all but at the end of the day the car doesnt look bent cant see where it's bent then is it bent didnt think so,

the cars in the middle of getting wired up and then away to get brakes hooked up then up to get a 4 wheel alignment done with a printout and ill even post that too when its done.

[BRAMMER]

Crazy story, so it's not bent?? if it is and the previous owner/builder states it is then why did he try selling it on here?

[pip7rs]

well like i says mate i cant see where its bent or why its bent so it cant be bent lol, and yeh thats what says all along he was trying to sell it on here at 1st sayin he never knew at this stage tht it was bent but then says tht he knew half way through wen he had to messa bout with doors so upto people what they believe ay.

[jaimesdna]

take the door cards off & look inside the doors, bottom rear corners. i was there when they were welded

[pip7rs]

yeh went to do this but took the top off the door card off and broke the clips so not away to take the lower part off as im not really wanting to sart breaking things but ill see if i can get a hold of clips before i do this,

and if they are welded as you say what does that achieve?

the doors are ligned up at fitted up with the qtr panel so why would welding the door or watever help this i spent bout 10 minutes on each door and had them closing sweet and gaps decent so im not really believing the guys skills on setting a door

[gray_rs]

Even better put a new door on it and see what it's like? Is this meant to be both sides or just 1 ?

[gray_rs]

Even better put a new door on it and see what it's like? Is this meant to be both sides or just 1 ? Seems to have been alot of people there wen these doors were done but nobody knew about it until there was a new owner?

[pip7rs]

[pip7rs]

well put a new door on it today just to see what all this welding door sh#t is all about and the door fits fine strange that lol

[fordrs2005]

that means nothing sending the logbook away as scrap

as you actually need to put a distruction notice on a car for it to be send away as scrap

and if i remember correctly they,ve now started to send the logbooks back to you if you do so ,

[gray_rs]

Lol get that up ya Rosie any thing else the guy needs to do to prove that this car is not bent ? Nope? Didn't think so

[boothy]

[pauldonachyrs]

Haha. That shut few people up

[dingla rs]

the pic with red door is nothing go by its a shit pic and you carnt see the bottom the door or the gap ,lines dont line up ,as for white door above the gap is different at the bottom to the top .but as long the doors shut and it drives straight who cares

[pip7rs]

well im sorry mate tht i cant stop it raining i tried my best to get a pic up with another door on it all i done was bolted it on to show that the door closes fine and that it is flush with the quarter panel not set the gaps as it was pissing of rain think ive done enough to prove my point with this car, and as for the gaps with the white door on it it if you read what i says i did say i spent 10 minutes on the doors just a quick mess about with them and got the gaps decent i did say not 100% and at the same time a lot better than alot of escorts ive seen in my day so does that mean that they are bent?

basically ive done what everyone says and put pics of the doors up and also done what rosie says and put another door on it to see that it was bent so i done tht and it fitted fine only thing bent is his eyes,

if it still bothers people tht much about it and still believe its bent there welcome to come up and have a look there self so they can sleep at nite

[whizzisat114]

Well id like to see it finished , Think it'll be a sweet ride when its done

i had 4 doors & they all fitted the same so i know this aint a genuine pic

u have 2 remove door cards 2 wire up e/w & fit c/l so take a pic of inside rear of doors then. they will look mint from outside as they were ground down & skimmed with filler when painted!

funny how mo pics of inside the doors

& no pics from down side or car to show it sticking out 1/2-1 inch from quarter & no decent pics

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE 2 FOOKING SAY THIS

I
BUILT
THE
CAR
SO
I
KNOW
ITS
BENT

u taking pics of gaps doesnt prove a thing as the gaps were fine, it was where it ran out from the quarter hence doors nipped in

wheel alinement maybe ok with a few tweeks but urll never get around the fact that the doors will allways hit seat bolsters as the shell has nipped up in the middle

yeh tht is a foot holding the door shut i wasnt away to swap fucking catches n that over just to prove a point. the door is flush with the quarter panel all the way to the bottom u dick and i have pics there to prove it, and an inch from the bottom of the quarter your crazy lol you need to go back to school and see what an inch is lol and why would i need to to a pic of the inside of a standard door you says put a standard door on it and i did. and as for not bein a genuine a pic what the fuck you mean by tht u think i photoshoped it or something lol it doesnt matter what i say or do you'll always say its bent and hey if you want to be that guy that builds bent cars then hey your welcome to advertise that as much as you want but i know at the end of the day ill be the one kicking fuck out this in the summer

gaps where fine are u joking me they were an absaloute mess i could got a baseball bat in the top of the wing gap where it meets the door and not even a fag paper at the bottom im gonna have to go and cut theses wings off now and do them all again and throw away the doors as you've fucked about with them and do it all again, the wings have just been threw in with no thought of hanging doors etc

[gray_rs]

16 I's and series 1 's seats are tight as it is for the doors never mind when u had the seats in the wrong way. Cars not bent it's ur eyes

[pip7rs]

well rosie just measured the car there from sill to sill and measured another 2 escorts and all 3 are the same at 1330mm rubber to rubber on the sills if anyone who is in the area and still believes the cars bent there welcome to come up with there car and we'll measure and compare!
