Hello chums, as the title says really I am toying with giving up RS ownership, mainly due to lack of time at the mo. As some of you know I currently have a 93 Gloss Black Escos which is currently being stripped as I wanted to restore it. So Im now toying with the idea of selling her on so someone else can get her back to her former glory.
As I say this is just an idea at the mo, so nothing is set in stone. Basically I want some ball park figures with regards to how much I should ask as the car is no longer complete... Well it no longer has an interior carpet and is in a semi stripped state.
The car has covered 76K and is gloss black. I dont believe it has the best history in the world as it was VIC back in 95, but the car drove fine back in the day and I really enjoyed it.
Anyway, as the car stands the fuel tank has been removed from the car, along with the interior which I still have. The car is complete apart from headlights and a front splitter.
it needs some minor welding doing to it around the seat belt mounting points (This was done by someone but not to a very good standard)
The car does run and always fires first time, if a battery is connected. It is standard in power but comes with a 03 fuel pump, grp A coil, Bailey header tank and breather and a bailey type swirl pot. I also have a set of dark greens and 3 bar map sensor which have never been fitted. It has a scorpion exhaust, which needs new rubber mounts.
I think it will need some of the electrics doing as when I got it back from the body shop the rev counter wasnt work along with the fuel gauge...they worked before I sent it in, but as i described in the resto page I created, it was in there for quite a long time.
It currenty sits on freshly powder coated 18" OZ Super Tourismo's.
I do have photos of it as it stands in the resto room... I just havent had time to work on it
<---- tears .....would be a good project for someone who is handy with a welder and has some time. If it was me I would have aeroquiped all the fuel lines and either refurbed the calipers or changed for AP. The whale tail has been removed and repainted, and the boot lid is pretty mint with no rust.
This isnt a for sale post as of yet, but if someone could just give me a ball park figure it would be appreciated... as I say the car needs sorting so Im not looking for mega bucks... and any reasonable offers might be accepted.
Obviously this car has been off the road for a long time, about 7 years, so if someone was interested they would have to bear this in mind.
I will return to the Escos scene one day , but at this time I think its going to be a case of bonjour to it all.
Neil
