Awsome,
Always wanted a cossied MK3 but im not the guy to finish it , shame it wasnt a fully finished article as i would have been calling you ( obviously it wouldnt be Ł8000 LOL )

GLWTS bud

 

I was very seriously interested in this , I have bought somthing else now as you pissed about so long before advertising it

A great project for somone

 

awesome glwts and have a bump

 

love the colour and the paint work glwts

 

Lol just trying to get the little things sorted lol

You could still have it the money u got , u got me number if u wanna pop thru paul

B

 

was this ever finished?

 

What in a week lol

 

Nope! but it should have been.....

 

Do it Paul, your the right man to do the shell justice

 

I'd love to build mine into this, not going to happen though, GLWTS mate.

 

were you following the original thread?lot of hard work and time has gone into this,whats changed your mind mate?fiancial,motivation seems a shame to throw the towel in after all the pissing about you went through

 

Crying shame

 

Yes but even if I wasn't the title kinda states it didn't get finished!

This shell is a credit to all involved and will make a really good example of what ford could have done, but as you say beef family comes first this is just a lump of steel you can get back one day but the early years of you little girl growing up will never

good luck bud

 

not really seen so many cars like this completed then broken down to parts then the shell sold sepratley!!

 

No never finished .

B

 

Awesome Beefy and such a shame!

 

Such a shame Beefy.You should of kept on with the project.

Bump


Beef

 

some bits been painted for this

 

Thanks Andy , got the last of the bits to pop up if u about the weekend .

 

^sorry beefy just seen this post i wasnt bout anyway ,its all rapped up ready to collected

 

If i was you Beef i'd just cover it up and forget about it for a few years unless you need the money.

 

Its a shame Beef your'e selling it on before finishing it, but good luck with the sale anyway.

 

love this AAAAAA+++++++

 

buy it paddy

road trip

 

beautiful paint and welding and panel gaps m8 well done,,,,,, but whoever fitted that kit wants stabbed wi a rusty knife,
as said earlier throw a sheet over it for a couple o years, will only grow in appreciation.no plonker will buy it for 8k unfinished.

 

I have to agree pricewise whats wrong with the kit?

 

I think the shell is worth that .

The time and effort gone into is awesome

I would love to have this

 

Can't believe your selling this beefy! Needs must I suppose though.

What's the comment regarding the body kit all about!

 

Thanks for the comments guys

Ric I've no idea what he's on about regards the kit ,

I know it's fitted right , unless he's making regards to us not riviting it ,

 

When u look at base model rusty mk 1&2s are fetching 2-3k nowadays I think the price of the shell is quite reasonable considering there's over 2 grands worth of rear end included and a further 5-700 quids worth of parts in the sale

Deduct the above from the cost of the shell and if u think is still not worth it then ur the fucking plonker !!!

 

Nothing constructive to say?
Keep quiet
