Smile 2 nd Hand Parts for rs turbo escorts

Gday esky fans,

Im in australia as you may have guessed, are there still decent parts to be found in wrecking yards in the UK anymore? been 15 yrs since i lived there. Any help on companies to source parts at would be amazing. Places to buy new parts even.
Cheers

By all means post your rs turbo to see, such great cars.

Unfortunately here in the UK the days of going to the scrap yard to get car parts for the older Fords are long gone! There are places where you may be able to get parts but it is a matter of trawling the internet to see what is available.There is a big Ford spares place in Germany called Motomobil who do keep a lot of parts for various Fords.Have a look on their website.I used to live in Adelaide and years ago you could go to the scrap yards there to get parts for my 1600E Cortina and my V6 Capri.

My MK3 Escort pop was a rust box in 1989. Sills and wheel arches in particular. Then it got an odd leak from the bulkhead behind the battery into the passenger footwell that required lots of awkward metalwork.

I am not sure what parts you are after but I just looked on Google and quite a few places come up saying they have parts for the Escort RS turbo. Have a look and contact them and you may get lucky.
