HI THERE I BOUGHT THIS CAR OFF A VERY GOOD MATE OF MINE WITH INTENION TO FINISH IT BUT IVE NOT GOT TIME OR PLACE TO FINISH SO REALLY CONSIDERING TO BREAK THE WHOLE CAR IF ENOUGH INTERESTED.

HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF PRICES YET BUT LET ME KNOW WOT YOU WANT AND IF ENOUGH INTERSTED I WILL GET PRICES UP,

HERE IS THE FULL SPEC OF THE LAD WHO ORGINALLY BUILT THE CAR

MK3 ESCORT 400BHP COSWORTH POWERD RWD SHOW CAR (MINT)
I HAVE BEEEN BUILDING THIS CAR FOR 2 YRS & ITS 98% FINISHED
THE CAR STARTED LIFE AS A 1.3L MK4 ESCORT ON A F REG IN BLACK!
I BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2003 AS A STD BONUS ESCORT & FULLY CONVERTED IT TO RS TURBO SPEC & AFTER ABOUT A YEAR I SOLD THE CAR, THEN 2 YRS AGO I BROUGHT IT BACK & DECIDED TO RWD CONVERT IT! (AS U DO!)
SO I STRIPPED THE SHELL BARE & GOT MYSELF A COWORTH ROLLING SHELL FOR ALL THE RUNNING GEAR, AT THIS POINT I HAD 2 SHELLS & A SUSPENSION SET UP. I HAD BEEN COLLECTING PICS/INFO OF RWD ESCORT’S SINCE I WAS 20 AS THIS BEING MY DREAM CAR & 1 DAY PLANNING TO BUILD 1.
SO I STARTED WORK ON IT & AFTER LOTS OF MEASUREING & GENTLY TRIMMING AWAY UNWANTED PARTS ON THE ESCORT SHELL I THEN STARTED JIGGING THE SIEERA BEDS IN PLACE, ONCE BEDS WERE JIGGED IN PLACE SQUARE I THEN WENT ABOUT MOUNTING THEM, LOTS OF HOUR WENT INTO MAKING MOUNTINGS FOR THESE ARE I WANTED IT TO LOOK AS FACTORY AS POSSIBLE (HENCE NOT GOING FOR SIERRA BAY & FLOOR)
I COULD SIT HERE & WRITE FOR HOURS ABOUT ALL THE HARD GRAFT & MANN HOURS THAT HAVE GONE INTO THIS SHELL LET ALONE THE £££££££££££££££££££ BUT I HAVE OVER 450 PICS OF THE BUILD FROM START TO PRESENT & ITS EASIER TO SEE WHAT BEEN DONE THEN TRY & EXPLAIN IT. BUT DONT THINK IM GOIN TO BE EMAILING 450 PICS BY EMAIL LOL.

That car is stunning, don't break it!!!

sod al lto do really

 

car looks amazing on the steelies,

dont break it. keep it

 

crazy man thats lush

 

At least get the shell bought then mate

 

Ye I know lads just don't have time or space to finish it. Unless someone comes up with a Lump full of cash or a px on a cosworth it's getting broke at the weekend most parts sold once stripped just few parts left mainly shell and interior wheels ect ect.

The shell comes everything apart from interior engine and box and running gear.
Interior is full set seats and rear bench and all door cards and 1/4 cards

 

remember seeing the thread on its build very nice piece of work matey did on that

 

Shame you aint able to finish it Paul... suppose selling/breaking is better than leaving it sitting doing nothing though.


Cheers,
Grant

 

i love this car ... but dont know if i could do a deal .... ive got a 500+bhp 3dr .... thats got a dent in the rear quarter... ive been quoted 600 to sort the bodywork but its tempting to buy you shell and fit my running gear

 

well its all still here untill the weekend mate aand what u mean dont know if you could do a deal? yeh the shells a cracker got a few guys interested in at at the moment just trying to get something sealed at the weekend with one of them just all trying to raise cash etc..

 

i quite like the whole car but my running gear would be reat in this as its on autronic sm4 with gt35 ect

 

Hi just a quick update to let people know whats happening the car is still all intact and whole at the moment as i seem to be getting a few cash offers and deals etc offered but nothing solid yet, the car will be getting stripped this side of xmas if it doesnt go as a whole. Hoping for this weekend but need to see how things go,

and to the people who are in contact with me at the moment i have made no 100% decision yet and i am considering everyones offer fairly as i know it is near xmas for guys to get money or for those peolple that have money tied up in cars i am allowing some time.

Also i'd like to say i would consider a p/x for another cosworth or mk1 focus rs

cheers paul

 

Very good update Paul - thanks.
