Looks like you have an excellent shell to play with.
Yeah, it's not too bad cheers.

Yea I think il be putting mine away for a few years, so I imagine it will probably stay standard
That's great, if you keep yours standard then that means I'm allowed to play with mine a little

It's back on ebay also I think?
V8's are cool as.. a friend of mine has a v8 mk2 Escort
I had a closer look at the back end, took off the bumper and removed the lights to have a nosy around.
N/S seems quite solid
O/S not as good
Rotten inside, that void in the rear quarter, gone at the seam.
Could be worse though!
I put all the interior plastics in a red hot bath of bleach & washing up liquid, then scrubbed them with cillit bang!
The interior was pretty much fucked though! Carpet is alright, door cards are falling to bits and the seats are a bit manky & the drivers seat appears to be sort of twisted - very uncomfortable on a long journey, they came out & stayed out but don't worry purists I have kept it all in the loft
It sat around on the drive for a few months until I randomly booked an MOT test, so put some mk2 steels on & off we went
