Default Mk3 3dr escort estate

Alright folks!!!!

Here some pictures of the 29 year old mk3 escort that my little brother ended up with, why he took it I dont have a clue as he doesnt have the time or money to put into it to return it to its formal glory so I bought it off him.... Its on the road until feb next year I MAY SELL IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT. It needs a few things to finish it off I will list the things needed so that if anyone has any parts laying around then contact me on 07951515072.

Parts needed
Full interior (including carpet)
5 speed gearbox( have now got)

Need to keep in mind that I want to keep this car original as poss as this car has just come out of the Alford car Museum.

Here's the pictures let me know what you think

A GL 3 door Estate is mega rare!
When I had a Mk3 Estate a few years ago I would have killed for a GL rear bumper... (same style as XR/RS).

Shame its been messed around with so much, but still a great find.
