Iam currently trying to do a deal with a custumer of mine abroad to bring in MK 1 and 2 cars,these shells will be rot free and mint,
Ive been out of the retro game for quite a while so would there be a market for such a rare hard to find body shell

 

yes pete the market in the rally world for mk1 and 2 shells is huge the rich rally boys are going back to them from there expensive 4wd stuff, presume they will be lhd?
I have always thought about doing something like that but with panels from spain, as my parents have a house there so I go over quite a few times a year, there a loads of rust free cars in scrappys over there just like these

They will be all right hand drive

 

how much wauld you want for the mk1 mate

 

Pete put me down for either mk1 or mk2 no probs i will have both if they are solid and original

 

dont get all excited yet,its still in the very early stages so I have no idea of prices yet which will ned to included shipping and duty
As soon as I know whats happening a advert will be placed or orders taken with a deposit

 

 

got any idea how much a escort mk1 shell is going to be i fancy going back to old skool.

 

if they are south african ,apparently the mk2 shells are not the same as the euro

ones.

puddy

 

good job there not from there then by the way they are the same except they were fitted with a baby atlas axle which in fact is a bonus

 

Pete They should also be the heavy duty shell. Which has a lot of the RS plated bits fitted.

 

correct! i have an ex south african mk 2 rs2k sitting in the garage! with baby atlas
only minor changes is the front x member is mounted like the capri ie bolts right through chassis leg instead of captive inside

 

pete
you said you were not going to pay to be a trader on here any more ???? what happened

 

no Andy I said i may not re new as things on the site are going down hill

 

so you have got 3 escort cosworths one with 500bhp, one 9k mile 3door with 500bhp, and a mk2 rs2k and you say you are not in the slightest bit rich. any news on the shells and where are they from?

 

wack em on www.rallyusedparts.com or ebay Pete, or offer em to Gartrac in Surrey, if they're the right price I know someone who'll have em too, but I'm sure they'll sell like hot cakes.
