Default Red Escort RS turbo - 1988 (90 spec) NEW PICS

as seen in picture below:



bought it as a garage queen but unsure if i will go ahead with it now need a bigger car so Focus may go in the garage.

COMPS WILL NOT COME WITH CAR, will come with 16 inch mondeo cossie style wheels and proper 195 45 16 continentals

Spec

good bits:
Radiant red (i think)
1988 F
90 spec trim
Flocked dash with boost gauge
88k (on clocks)
engine strong no rattles, drives well
MOT till may 2013
recent repaint, very good job IMO
clean underneath
recent turbo from turbo dynamics (with reciept)
full exhaust
recent brakes (look new)
no rusty arches, strong battery tray, fusebox, no rust around sunroof
delocked
cobra alarm

Bad bits:
No tax (sorn'd in garage)
rear spoiler paint has some cracks (recently painted.....failure)
no radio
temp gauge needs rewiring

i drove the car back from where i bought it, (with only 1 hiccup on the way) and it has lived in the garage ever since. it has some limited history, receipts old tax discs etc (will get more info tomorrow) but it isnt FSH. will make a really nice car for someone that has the time.

i also have some other bits (at extra cost) that i bought but havent had time to fit, momo steering wheel, smoked tailights, samco hose.

more photos soon, but buried in the garage at the moment.

Recent pics. Battery tray



Outside











Clean fuse box



Clean underneath, restored floor





Boot floor, chassis legs done recently



Rust free roof



Flocked dash



Engine bay



Clean inner tailgate





Couple of minor bits. Cracked spoiler paint



Marks coming through in boot lid



£2750 ONO

Yes, oil drain pipe split on way home, common problem. Repaired now.
