i just browsed the cos parts for sale and amazed to see how many cars are being broken, i know its the only way to make more money back but i do think its a shame that cars are getting broke for spares and possibley wont see the road again...

the thing s they need to be broke to keep others alive

shame

 

Its swings and round abouts tbh. Escorts and 3Drs 95% of the time continue to live on, but its the saph shells that get scrapped most of the time. As you say though cars getting broken up means others live on.

 

if they are not selling then its the only way and tbh, they make more money breaking it.

 

Its not a bad thing, makes our cars that are together rarer

 

got to be good at saving though as if your like me you get money bit by bit when breaking and you spend it as you get it instead of getting a lump sum

 

what does the average stage 3 escort break for

 

the thing i find though they seem to die out, i now find it hard finding mk3 escort spares in good nick

 

Why dont people just keep the standard parts and then they have the option to put back to standard and sell for less, then sell the decent parts and make the money back that way.

 

I hope you aint thinking of breaking that EsCos Andy LOL

 

I was thinkin the same thing, surely not after all this money spent, and all the time and money into it recently?

 

i rekon thats a sad sad sight seeing a cosworth in a scrap yard - they dont belong there as these cars are way to special

 

i was stripping mine down to get ready for a full on rebuild again but to a very high spec

i walked in the garage yesterday and thought fuk it, i carnt be arsed and want something else, plus mine will always be worth more in bits than a complete car

 

Yup, the more people breaking cars is good for me, especially Saph's and Series 1's!

 

Also puts the values up as good cars become more rare .

 

i'm having the exact problem at the moment; i've got my Saff Cossie up for sale at the moment at cheap money for the spec, and not had much interest so far

if that fails i will break it, but it will kill me to do it and it goes against my ethos......but money talks sadly

Someone buy my Cossie!!!!

 

I never thought i would break mine and if the engine was running it would have been sold as a complete car but without a lump its not worth f all hency why im breaking.

But the shell will be sold and built up again so it wont be scrap, would rather keep the shell and build it myself if it came to that!

 

If it wasnt for cars being broke itd be much harder for the gooduns to stay alive, so i think its good.

The fact there is a market for parts from the broke cars proves the scene is strong still. Ie they not just being run in to the ground and scrapped as there are loads of people keen to buy the bits.

Its a fucking godsend when you got a car where loads of people are breaking them.

 

i personnely know 3 people that are breaking saphs now, they will be rarer than rs500's soon

and no im not breaking the es cos, id sell it with a lower spec
