Default My latest toy

Hi guys & Gals,

Here is my latest project / toy that I bought of Ebay.

Its an Escort 1.8 Ghia Si (according to the log book) I think its a bit of a parts bin special tbh though.












As you can see the body is fairly straight with only a few minor dents on the drivers door (car park dents), according to the speedo its done 63k wich aint too bad but for all I know it could of gone right round once before lol.

What do you think?

no sticker on it.

I know were you mean though because my Mum had a 1600 Zetec a few years back and it said 1.6 & 90 on hers, any other ways of telling?

Cheers everyone it is pretty straight (well for a 1994 car anyway lol)

Speedytom - The interior is a bit off putting, was thinking about changing that.
Dazoriginal - According to experian the colour is listed as Brown, looks Grey to me.

****BUMP****

Well this car is so badly rotten it needs re-shelling, due to having no spare cash and not much time its got to go.

If anyone wants it (minus the Alloys) for £50.00 then contact me via PM and its yours.

Its located in Ormskirk near Liverpool. (L39 postcode)

Its a 1.8 Zetec so would be ideal for a kit car doner or if someone has a 1.3/1.4/1.6 Escort that needs/wants a bigger engine.

I tried to put it on Ebay but I have no landline in my house so Ebay wont let me set up a sellers account.

Im selling it as a full car so please dont start asking for bits off it.

Find out the engine code, if it is the 130spec take the good bits off and the cat and alloys. Then go weigh it in you will get around the £100 for it.

Sell the cat seperate to them and get more money back.

Underneath is fucked mate, both rear chassis rails you could put your hand through and the sills are full of holes too.

Its got rear drum brakes so probably a 105Bhp then.

Or if somebody wants to swap it for a Sierra that would be good.
