Depends what way you look at it. I'm selling my original door panels and replacing them with others, I've sold the interior and replaced that. The only bits that I have 'de-valued' (as you put it) are the common Escort parts. If it comes to selling the car, it can go in pieces as it is half way there

You should see what I am going to do for my next trick You'll love it!

BTW - did you know my car is converted to RWD?
