Have got a 1989 G reg mk4 Escort that I bought last year (May) with the intention of restoring but finances have taken a tumble since then! Has had work done including brand new exhaust, battery was brand new in June or July last year (around that time) but has just gone flat by the looks of it. The motor hasn't been fired up for exactly 1 year now, as I've been meaning to get an oil leak seen to on it, and it needs some welding (wanna get the mechanical side seen to first), welding needed to arches/sills but from a Ford mechanic who inspected it soon after I bought it, it's solid underneath.

Need someone reliable looking for quotes, first job is to get that oil leak seen to and get it running again. I've had a fair few people (surprisingly) interested in the vehicle during it's time parked on my drive, asking about it and in some cases asking me to sell it, including a takeaway delivery driver and his friend/girlfriend! But in all honesty I really don't wanna sell because a) I simply like the car and B)
