you dont buy these types of car for the money side of things cause they always end up costing a fortune ive found you have to be a real ford lover to keep one longer than 6 months lol

by the sound of things that does sound a nice example with abit of tidying up im sure you will have found a nice standard car which if you look after im sure you wont lose any money on as there getting alittle harder to come across now

depends the body work is usealy the worst place and as much history helps but if its runs nice and is standard and not messed with you should be ok pal.

with that sort of milage with good quality repairs it will be worth a mint, not many rst out there now without some sort of welding done, an lookin at the prices an how much they have risen in past couple of years i wouldnt let a bit of welding put me off

Mines done a gen 63K and has had very little welding (less than that car needs by the sounds of it), and i doubt i can get back what i paid for it tbh.

If you bodge it you will, but that would be a real shame. Prices are on the up... slowly.

Done to a high standard with the underside well restored its probably worth 5-6 with that mileage and standard.
