I know its only worth what someones willing to pay..........but how much in this day and age is a brand new escort cosworth group n shell worth??

 

6k

 

blimey!!!!! as much as that you reckon

 

yip i was going to try buy hadlands but he wont sell it

 

how long ago was that mate?? Did he not use that one for the escort he's using now?

 

Don't forget my one has a cage and seam welding, all that adds to the cost. Obviously if someone was looking for a non caged shell mine would be less desirable.

 

there is nothing about that shell that is less desireable

and i recon yours would be worth more than 6k as its the exact same spec as yours

 

thought the majority of people would prefer the cage etc. I only brought all this up as im having doubts wether or not i'll actually ever start on mine..............and should i sell it! :-(

 

is it painted or still in ecoat

 

If ecoat is the black stuff fords used then yes mate. I just called it black factory primer lol

 

is martins the one swinging from his roof your on about

 

yeh thats the stuf

then its worth more than an every day painted one cos its getting started from fresh

and saph4b yeh thats the one bit of a change in direction now so its off the cards as far as escorts go

 

You say grp n shell. Is it a bog standard road car shell? does it have a sun roof?
Is it seam welded and caged?
Get some pics up.
6K does seem a bit steep for a shell but It is fresh.
I paid less than 6K for my r.e.d shell and it came with a few toys

 

i did see a brand fire new shell complete with full kit,glazed and ready for mechanicals and never been used whatsoever,think it was 6 grand around last xmas

 

Yeh i said group n shell........coz thats what it is!!! If it had been a bog standard road shell i would of said that!! lol It has no sunroof. Hasnt got a cage or been seam welded........yet!

Trying to get pics up but my pc wont read my external harddrive at the mo :-(

 

I wish your pricing was accurate if i did come to sell it mate lol

 

id say for your shell as its non sunroof its probs worth about 4 martins has all the seam welding and a 2.5k cage so some where around what iv said remember if you can get proof of purchase and build it as a track car from as many new parts as possible it could go on a new reg

 

being left hand drive is a slight downer.

 

lhd is fine ideal replacement for someone with a damaged wrc car well worth it

 

Put it on ebay, and find out what people are willing to pay. If you aren't prepared to part with it just yet, put a high reserve on it!

 

hi neil

6k all day all night end of chat thank you good night

 

Sorry marco but a LHD shell with no sunroof is worth no where near 6k

I would say 3k

5k if it was RHD

 

yeah right

 

the fact that this is lhd makes it worth more, its a fooking group n rally car shell ffs, not a shiny english concourse jobby.

all you need is a written of group a or WRC escort that needs ashell, and this will be the place to sell this to.

i would have prefered a LHD shell, but the circumstances being what they were i got a RHD

 

LHD or RHD... that looks as if its worth a pretty penny or two. As said above - stick it on the bay with a high reserve - see what people are willing to pay for such an item...

 

don't forget theres fookin thousands of cozzie lovers abroad who demand left hookers so that will be of interest to them and loads of rally drivers who have left hand drive anyway.

that shell could easily go to scandinavia if you know the right place to advertise it like i do,if you do sell the shell i could put it in Norway for you no probs or let Mr Ford know as he's in with JP who's the biggest cozzie specialist in europe.

 

cheers fella's for all your comments............its something im only pondering on at the mo

 

hi paul

it s motorsport shell .. it's not a road shell ...it's an ideal replacement for a grp a / wrc or any escort that use the big 8.5" front diff

the works escorts grp a /wrc later were all left hand drive and the reason they was kept left hand drive because of the big 8.5" front diff

if you converted a grp a or wrc to right hand drive you would have to move the engine/gearbox over to get clearance for the colume not only that it upsets the balance of the car


i know what you saying tho if the shell was right hand drive and a road shell .....he would sell it tomorrow for 6k alday

but this shell is still worth 6k i know my rally stuff.lol..

 

sorry If you got offended you rob!!! but I was intereted to know what it has!!!
I know its got that really nice 909 tag on it but it's still road spec and lhd, at the moment.And It is ready to go wrc or grp but the work still needs to be done. Turret tops boot floor tank cage etc.
Recon 3-4k more if it goes to europe or the irish rally boys.
Easy enough to put to rhd!!!!!
Put it together man and have your self the mintest ecort in town!

 

Hello mate, nah you didnt really offend me......just slightly rubbed me up the wrong way!!! lol
For me mate it was only ever gonna built back up as a complete road car,as i just wanted a shell with no rust......as i really hate rust!! Its just alot of work though mate.....and cant decide if i wanna sell it or not.....even though ive got alot of the parts to for it.......but the main part (putting to rhd) has yet to be done still :-(
