Default Mk5a Escort...

So then...

Something tells me these got the rust bug pretty bad then... Where are the tell tale spots? been thinking about one for a while.. 5b's and 6's don't seem to be as bad... am i right lol ? Can't really remember seeing one lately...

was considering buying an XR3i/RS2000/Cab

yep they did the usual inner wings and that and the fuel cap is a bad one the bat tray and the worst place is the fuse box its rots and the car plays all sotrs of funny games and its costly to fix hope this help go for a rs2000 or the xr3i 130

must admit i'm tempted... but looking at power to weight my sierra is 110bhp per tonne and a 105bhp escort is 95bhp per ton

and i like rear wheel drive

probs can't really be bothered to sell mine, but would do a swap if anyone has one lol

What about Mk5 escort cabbys? same problems?
