we know some friends who have had a 1989 escort mk4 from new (horsham fords in sussex its from), 3 door and in sky blue, been sorn'd for nearly 10 years in the garage. its been garaged most of its life and i had a brief look over it today, its bloody clean shell, had no welding etc....! few little scabs, sills are perfect and worst rust is about 2 or 3 inches on the offside rear arch! interior is very dirty but will clean up well i quickly nipped by today and asked them if i could have a look as they are going to scrap it they said

what do i do buy it off them and save it from scrapping as its way too good to scrap for the £200 odd they would get scrap?? thinking about it cleaning it up and selling it on, will be perfect for a sleeper or turbo conversion? would hate to see it scrapped! what ya reakon??
