For most peeps, this is the least inexpensive way to get into Escort Cossie ownership...as you can do it all in piecemeal, even if the price in the end equals or exceeds the car used. Plus YOU choose the spec from the very beginning (no trading cloth seats for leather, etc.)
Your method is similar to what I did, mate. Check out my website!
You should be well-chuffed. That's a gorgeous car, that! Please keep posting piccys
