Default Escort Cosworth - *Provisionally Sold*

After our accident 3 months ago we have finally got the Cossie back, so now it's up for sale.
The engine is still running fine, the interior is ok, it's just the body that needs work done to it, well, probably replacing, although some things are ok, like the boot lid, fin & bonnet. We have already been offered a price for it but we'd rather advertise to the PF members, as you're all sooo nice! lol
Here's a few of pics of it.....





















The pull out 'leg rest' on the passenger seat looks like the salvage yard has placed something hot on it, so a complaint has gone through about that!
The interior needs a good clean as there is dried mud & bits of broken glass on them.
Open to sensible offers for the whole car! More info or pics on request.

We've been offered already £5500 for it, we are very happy with that price but we don't want it to go to the person who has offered it!

Money is money why are you bothered who has offered it?
You may not get a better offer and if the person that has offered that 5.5k reads this then they will probably tell you to feck off i would

Thanks for your input!

Are you interested in the car? I don't want this post turning into a comments page like i've seen some others in the past! The person who has offered it has never or will ever come onto PF, it's a more personal reason aswell why we don't want his money!

Nope not interested myself as i wouldn't offer 5.5k
If you don't want it to turn into a discusion then comments like you made earlier arn't going to help!

My partner, our baby & myself were just coming off a roundabout onto a dual carrageway & some little dick tried to undertake us but ended up hitting our back bumper causing us to slide sideways across the road, we rode up a hedge then landed on the car's roof!

Got the police to drop their case against my partner, even though it wasn't his fault, due to lack of evidence & now been told that the insurance are sending us a cheque, so, got to try & keep smiling!

We were going too but he was trying to make out that it was our fault so we didn't rise to the bait. He's crapping his pants now though, I told him that once the police & insurance are out of the situation he's a dead man & knowing what my family are like down here he knows I ment it!
I was thinking about getting a few people to jump him, tie him up & chuck him in the boot of a car then take him to the middle of Bodmin Moors, beat him for a bit then leave him!!!

Only joking! He does know not to piss my family off though. I'm more subtle than that, i'll fook his head up, us women are brilliant at mind games!!!

that dimple in the seat will probably come out with a little heat, try a hairdryer on it, and give it a bit of a massage... seriously... I personally would use something hotter than a hairdryer but you could damage the leather doing that..

Thanks for the advise Damo, i'll give it a good massage later!
