Default Mk1 Escort

What would you expect to pay for a Mk1 shell that is in the middle of being restored, its not a bad shell and comes with a lot of new panels, some fitted, some not.

It also comes with a 2wd Yb with a T3, loom and ecu, T5, atlas axle (stock) new watts linkage, 4 link kit (not fitted) world cup x member and possibly a few other bits I've forgotten.

all depends on whats left of the type 49. I paid 4.5k for my type 49 RS2k, and it didnt need welding. so got it quite cheap.

doesnt need a "proper" year tag TBH.

log books used to be on ebay a lot, but they were banned. usually word of mouth nowadays really.
