I wouldn't mind betting that mine cost more but would I trade it for an RS200? No fooking way!! You should finish it and see what it's like, get it shipped over I will finish it From what I have seen it has the makings of a good car.

I wish people on here would get a grip sometimes!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many people spend SILLY money on these cars only to sell them without even using them properly.

Please can we have some cars with not so crazy builds that actually get driven more than 10 miles!

Just read through your rebuild link. That is simply stunning, I really like it mate a credit to all invloved, real shame if you have to break it, but only you know your own circumstances. Is the car now complete??

So wouldnt it be worth selling complete or is it a case of "its worth more in bits".
Didnt state in the rebuild threat if it got finished or not?

Hallo Escosracer
pity you never used the car, I'm sure it would have brought a smile to your face. The power to weight ratio was superb as Mike R suggested. It would have been a beast in the wet.

Pity my engine is currently at Harvey's, your engine would certainly have found a home in my Escos.

If you don't need the money, why not finish the car and at least try it out.

respectfully

kenny.

If you can afford to finnish it and you are this close, then I think it would be a shame not to at least drive it before making your mind up, its a very special car, but personally if given the choice between the money its worth, or the car, id take the money, mind you, difference is that i need the money, lol

as is always the way in these situations,it is your car and your money micheal.but i too believe that you should at least finish her and get her out on track for a bit to see if she surpasses your expectations.
she has all the makings of a true track weapon.look at mike r's car and martins car.they both have access to "better"cars that are far more exoctic too btu they have truely awesome carsin the escorts.i have been in mikes btu not martins (yet) and i have to say it did amaze me that a lowly old frod could do so well.

finish it,track it decide and if its not what you expected break it

but the ball is in your court my friend and only you can decide not us

Why not take Martin up on his offer of finishing the car Michael then decide if you lie it or not. Be a shame to break it.
