Default want a mk1 escort

i'm going to be looking for a project car in the next few months, something i can drive around cheaply for a while and then once my parents decide to move i can put it into the garage and commence work

where do you guys find them as i only really want to spend a few hundred quid on the car to begin with, the cheaper the better, as long as the condition isnt too bad

cheers, will just have to keep my eyes open i reckon, tbh by the time i come to get one i'll have closer to a grand to spend

just depends on what happens with my fiesta (mk4), as i have plans for between 250 and 400 bhp, but i still love old school fords but have the plan to keep my fiesta as it wont be worth much to others

hmm... turning 21, just quit uni, getting a job, maybe not the best time to be thinking about this, lol, but i want to start investing, and old school fords is a passion of mine

right, time to start counting the pennies

i like mixing it up a bit though, i've tried to keep my fiesta subtle, and want big power from it

the mk1 will probably in all fairness take a 2.0 pinto

been chatting to a few mates, 2.0 pinto, stripped out, slammed over 6x13" 4 spokes, quick rack... all ideas i'm taking on board

going up to the ace cafe next month, gonna go have a looky at the mk1's
