Default Anyone brave enough to attempt resto

Just looking on ebay and found this. looked good in first pic but laughed at the description. read for yourself.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-FORD-SIERRA-COSWORTH-REPLICA-BASE-WHITE-PROJECT-/300989197683?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item46145aad73

Rot box, I'd like a 3dr but that would take months to even get the shell right

Not too bad IMO. Certainly saveable. Just out of my budget

hi smiler258,
i had a feeling you would say it was saveable. you must be the only member on here with that much optimism. although in fairness you have a resto thread already on here to prove you would tackle it.

Yep I remember this car, scary project but that's because I'm clueless when it comes to that sort of thing. Go for it, what's the worst can happen? Just sell it on if you lose interest.

there is no way i would attempt this. with the little time i have spare it would take so long the good parts left would have rusted aswell.

Had a feeling you might reply! Its saveable alright, but a hell of a lot of work.
