BEEFYS series 1 mk 3 cosworth project ....
 

ok folks , PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE COMMENTING ECT ;-)


right , considering selling my project , maybe a little hasty of me , but right now ive completely fell out of love with it and dont even want to look at the fucking thing at the moment ! ..


now the important bit , NOTE I AM CONSIDERING !! SELLING this is not a definitive for sale post , but if the asking price is offerd and the buyer is genuine then there is every chance it will go ,

im still waiting on a couple of key parts and some items will be going for powdercoating before the car goes , thus the buyer would have to wait 2-3 weeks to collect the car ...


if you havent been living in a cave for the past 2 years the shell should need no introduction ,

42 k from new mk 3 escort shell , 100% straight , converted to rwd rs cosworth using a 100% mint sierra floor pan , fully spotwelded and fitted to factory + finish money no object has had brand new wings and front panel , custom tubular crossmember , fully smoothed engine bay , removeable battery tray , modded front turrets to accept eccentric top mounts,

rear has been extensively modified utlising a custom boot floor factory rear inside wheel tubs removed and widend 3 inches to accomodate larger with rear wheels , chassis legs removed and moved inboard to suit wheel tubs then custom rear turrets were fitted with eccentric top mounts

underneath was then modified to accept a mk motorsport wrc rear cradle , fully rosejointed + adjustable lateral link rear setup , complete with billet alloy uprights ,

car was then stonechipped and painted in 2k stornoway grey underneath -inside - underside to concourse spec ...

exterior was then taken to gary richardson @ a&d autos for a full extensive exterior respray including the inside and outside of the body kit , inc custom alloy side skirt caps , all body kit was taken back to bare plastic to provide a 100 % top finish ......

[quote=-beefy-;5560952]like ive said ,

im just considering it at the moment pending offers ..........

have you had a knock to the head :cry:

Keep it and get it finished Beef!!!

Youve come this far and its not too far away from a running/working car.

"beefy considered selling his S1 escos"

"we said no,no,no!"

you will regret it matey ...K

:cry::cry::cry:

Need a phone call mate?

You can't sell it, you promised me a passenger ride :cry:

Bottom line is that it's your motor and only you know what the score is, but just remember that you'll be kicking yourself harder than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest if you see someone else rolling round in it in a few years time.

you need dog fucking my man :wall::wall: get it fuckin finished

This came as a bit of a shock !!! :wow: good luck with the sale mate some one will
be getting a bargain

:oops:

shame.

mad isnt he, dont worry mate i wont sell mine, well not untill weve drove it lol

second that......

y cant i see pics???? :(

is it worth 11 k as it is???? if it is wot would it be worth when finnished!! FINNISH THE JOB beff then consider selling up.:top:

Cant believe youre selling it bro? Good luck

is it my laptop but they pictures arent showing up..

I feel genuinely dissapointed that youre thinking of selling mate. Ive spoke to you abouit the car at a few car shows this year and you seemed so focused and enthusiastic about it. Lets hope its a blip as im sure it'd be a great car to own and drive. ive got a stage one 3 door and its nice but im sure yours would be lots more fun. Lets hope things get back on track and see it through to the end mate

You will be gutted if you sold it im sure. All the work thats been put into it, sure you will realise and finish it yourself.

pics isnt working for me either...

Sell it. Just get rid. Even thinking about it means your heart ain't in it. Hopefully someone will actually get it done. Waste really.

Personally, unless I had some serious personal or financial issues, i'd just get on with it, and stop being a girl.

Get it done and stop whinging. ;)

beefy your more insane than me!!

someone needs a hug :bigkiss:

As above beefy youl hang yourself within 3years if you let this go, i was really hoping to see this at Ford Fair as a surprise for the show and all your updates would be a rouse to keep us guessing. lets just hope if it does go it goes to a good home

Get it finished ya loon!

Is he getting a job at msd on the basis that he makes the most controversial post on pf this year :cry:

fuck off Warren :cry::cry::cry:

Your mad, get it finished and enjoy it

If you have checked i have a cople of replys in your project post, so if you can´t look know... put it apart, hide it!! then finish the project!

if you need the money! well happens!

I would keep it if i wre you! and that´s a bargain price for all the years "WORK"! :king:

keep it and finish it beef.i dont understand why people start projects and dont finish them.surely all the hard work and dear bits are done?

its prob cos they have pumped so much money into they dont have enough left to finish it to a level they will be happy with. Also the time its taken and your priorities change ;)

This is why i broke my moonstone 3dr as didnt want to do a rebuild on it and im trying to keep my sensible head with the saff im building.

Beefy's car has had a lot of work done but i personally think it needs to be complete for it to sell at the price.

Keep it and finish it

I get the impression you've had a lot of mates help you out with it and probably for free, shurly you owe it to them to complete the project? i could be wrong on that though!

If it's a cash issue put it away for a year or too then come back and get it finished

You'd really regret parting with such a top quality shell it would eat you up to see someone else buy it, finish it and milk the lime light.

Stash it away for a month or 2 and think about it after a break! :-)

i think 11k is steep you never get back what you put into projects

It'll be a real shame if you do sell it beef :-(
But needs must.
Your priorities have changed now with your little girl coming along and i can see why you'd want to sell it now but have a good long think about it.
Hope your all well :-)
