Default E555 NPR white Escort RS turbo

Been on eBay for some time now from what's been said. It's advertised for £4,650 in Manchester. Today me and my friend decided to go up and take a punt on it. The friend had offered £3,800 as an agreed price as the advert claimed it to be 95% sorted and a weekend project.

the car has been forklifted onto a shortage area within a unit next to a MK1 Fiesta XR2, this has caused major chassis damage and components to be squashed.

The car is completely rotten every panel is knackered. Holes in the roof, hole in the windscreen frame, stand in the car and the floor moves. The rhs inner sill has about 12 patches of steel welded, all onto rot. Bodykit all bonded on with tiger seal rhs front wing hanging of the car, tailgate rotten inside out. Fuel filler surround rotten so the neck rocks about.

Engine and ancillaries are incomplete, turbo has major play, loom just checked onto the engine and lots of plugs cur of and replaced with spade connectors.

random trim and parts just chucked in the boot, most don't fit the car.
throttle body seized, turbo major play.

if the person who buys the car, we'd say it needs £5,000 worth of work and that's doing the car yourself..
