I mean seriously.

 

bit over priced but I like it lol

 

I like the mk5, and i know they are becoming a bit rare but they aren't that rare yet.

 

no m8 along way off yet

 

What's wrong with it? Or is it yours?

 

Without the lights, tints and wheels it would look just fine in my eyes!

 

Not mine mate, i was just looking at a few on ebay ,and couldnt believe a car with no tax or mot, in piss poor condition was up for sale for so much. there was another one on there rotten to the core needed loads of welding £650.

 

I agree but with no tax,mot is it really worth £1,000

 

Quite insulted you thought i would own an rs with such tat bolted to it.

My motto is standard all the way.

 

TBH mate the condition doesn't look bad to me, the inside could do with seeing a hoover though.

 

Seen worse, love the tints and lexus light and your nearly there. Just needs a bit of TLC really.

 

FLOL Mick, didn't mean to insult!

 

I sold one fubar'd for £800 a few years ago, they have a cult following do the bonnet bulge model. Great seats, very under rated cars and a cheap reliable entry into RS ownership.

 

Looks clean, nothing major wrong.
RS scene tax is getting heavy now, in fact all older fords are getting strong money.
The parts haven't escaped either, saw a lad selling escos wheels painted white for £1100 on ebay t'other day.
Now that is taking the piss.

 

Looks to me like the drivers rear quarter is a differnt colour. It might of had a rear arch replaced.

 

a grand is a lot for a scrapper.

 

I know that mate!

 

I suppose really they are worth what somebody is going to pay. They are good cars I had an L plate smiley face one before I got the escort cossie.

 

Okay its slightly over priced but if the shells solid id pay around £800 for it.

As said change lights and wheels

 

if the floor and chassis rails are good id say worth £1000, i got one as a trackday car there very under rated

 

Agreed, skip the lights, tints and wheels and seriously clean the inside up and it could be a nice motor.

 

It's not like it's advertised for £10 000

I don't really see an issue with it being £1000?

 

if its as tidy underneath as it is outside its worth £1000 all day long!

 

Proper underrated RS we put the full running gear in our Rs van with a Collins super chip and it would keep on reving right round . I rinsed so many cars in that van

 

4 I engines are bullit proof

 

i had a shonkey blue one with a pair of cams, modded manifold, and a chip and it went like a cougar after a cock!

 

Mine only has a superchip and its quicker than mr bro's ST170 and ST150

 

well until the oil pump relief valve screw comes loose lol

 

bet if you bought it and held onto it for a few years you'd be laughing

 

i've got my eye on another one now, just a 600mile round trip involved.

 

Strip it and YB RWD street sleeper .

 

This was my old one I only bought it to smoke around in I loved it then due to rot I broke it in to a van best thing we did

 

And we turned it into this

 

 

Go get your self one Mick you won't regret it

 

Nice job there Ian, As i cant seem to find the right escort cossie at the mo, I've decided to go for an rs 2000 to have a mess around with. trouble with me being a fussy bugger that isnt easy either lol.

 

Keep looking mate they are great cars but check them well for rust when I strip mine to a bear shell I found loads

 

once de-chavved it should clean up well and halve the asking price with no tax or ticket

 

 

i so badly want to start an rs2000 4x4 van project but im just not mechanically skilled enough to pull it off
