Hi all i'm back again with a story as usual so here goes,

Well last week i went to get my haircut and i know the lad that does it as he was a year below me at school.

Anyway he always chats to me about cars and he mentioned an escort gti he'd owned for a couple of months and said it was for sale ( BY THIS POINT I WAS INTERESTED LOL) So we had a chat and he told me when he got it someone crashed into the drivers side rear door and someone had smashed the passenger door mirror off and he couldnt be arsed to fix it,

He then said if i wanted it i could have it for £350 so he gave me the keys and i went for a look i liked what i saw apart from where the door had been hit it had done the rear arch too plus the passenger side rear arch was showing signs of rust,

Not put off too much by this i returned to the barber shop with £350 and promptly handed it to him

So i got the car home and parked it up feeling rather chuffed at my bargain buy

The next day i was walking to the shop when i noticed a smashed up escort finesse in the same colour as my gti i then went to ask about the car to see if i could buy the rear door for mine as the passenger side was totalled,

The outcome They gave me the whole car so i swapped the door over and scrapped the finesse and got £75 scrap money (BONUS)

Anyway plans are to clean it up get 2 new rear arches fitted and mod it slightly

It's totally standard bar a sportex back box and i chucked an old cd player in that i found in the cupboard lol

Car should be going in for rear arches early next week

I'll shut up now and get the pics up all comments welcome,









































cheers, Grant
