Default mk 4 escort cabby rolling shell now on ebay starting at £150

I am selling my 1989 "G" plate mk4 Escort cabby shell in radiant red due to a decision to move on from the ford scene and try and grow up a bit.
I bought the car in Birmingham in November 2002 and had it on the road in 2003
Towards the end of that summer a piston let go an I took it off the road.
I had every intention of putting her back on the road, but got sidetracked with kids, moving house, getting married and holidays.
I had the carpet out and hammerited the floor.
As far as I could see it has had no welding in its life, it is a good solid shell

The car has been stored in my garage since then.
As you can tell, the brakes will defo need attention due to it sitting.
It has been on and off axle stands over the years.

What comes with the shell

It will come with the following parts left on it.

Rs Turbo alloys, need tyres
Rs Turbo bonnet with vents
rear bumper
doors
tailgate
roof (no tears)
rear 1/4 interior trim
rear 90 spec seat
dashboard and spare dashboard minus clocks.
rear lights ( I think one may have a small crack or small hole in it)
rs turbo fuel tank and pump ( pump carrier has deteriorating rubber bushes)
spax suspension (shocks and springs)
front and rear rs turbo brakes ( need freeing off/overhauled)
twin parping horns
rs turbo driveshafts
deflex poly bushes fitted to rear end
deflex poly bushes fitted to steering rack and front TCA's

Bad points...

small amount of corrosion around aftermarket aerial hole on top of rear 1/4 ( opposite original one) should be an easy repair

deep scratch on passenger front wing and small indent where somebody has tried to lift the car up slightly via the front wing. I do have a new genuine front wing that will be supplied

n/s/r lower 1/4 dented where it slipped of a scissor jack and damaged the panel.

bubbling to front edge of bonnet(probably an easy repair to someone in the know)














pic showing deep scratch












damage to rear 1/4





























I am looking for £250
I am sure it would make an ideal winter project for somebody to stick a rs turbo engine or zetec engine into it.

any more info required or pictures let me know
