The job that needs to be done as i can tell:-

1, Sills stripped & replaced
2, Both rear arches redone (pref using stainless steel (have known this to be done before))
3, Front wings replaced
4, Floor pans replaced
5, Underside of the car completely re-done
6, Engine bay minors re-done
7, Front and rear bumpers cracks & scuffs repaired
8, Boot panel either patched up, or replaced
9, Electrical wiring re-done (not a major issue, as of yet)
10, Resprayed

Yes, it is a major job, and yes i am willing to spend the money on it. However, i'm not looking to have my pants pulled down, if you get my drift.

The car in question is a MK6 Ford Escort 1.8si.

Travel is not really an issue. I'm based in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. I'd go north as far as Newcastle, maybe a little further. South... Well, as far as Newquay.

Regards

Sunny
How much did the ford garages want for the complete job?

Think you will looking at 5k + unless you can do some off the work.
