Get in there son !!

Looks a good base to start wit Paul, leave the V6 in there to begin wit & get used to how the car is, then over the winter we'll jump on it for the full resto/cossie conversion !!

Dont tell no one where it is or comin from tho & gaffa tape Jim up jus incase he tell's peeps where it is & someone goes round there & buy's it !!

Is it an Essex V6 or a London V6 ??

you best look underneath with your eyes closed then, remember its a ford

 

i was thinking of leaving the v6 in for a while so i can get driving again, just need to get myself a decent welder as i can do welding whilst keeping it drivable.

oh, this one is a "london" v6
jim couldnt tell anyone, i have the phone number and it was at a lock up lol.

 

you can get decent fords too, my escort floor is like new and has never been welded

 

You've got to look out for dodgy repairs too, I've seen loads with repair panels welded over repair panels.

 

tbh i thought the car was in pretty good nick considering its been in a lock up for 7 years! couldnt really fault it on anything.

plus the price seems VERY good

but as we discussed, if you want to turn it into a weapon, it will cost escort cossie money

might be able to do something half decent for fairly cheap tho. perhps welded diff, 24v V6? wouldnt cost much and would give it a nice bit of power and sideways?

 

im thinking down the line it will need a blower attatched to it lol, either zetec turbo or cossie , i want to go get it but got to wait till i sold my shell or get the money (whatever is sooner) lol

 

I find that most important thing when viewing a car is to actually have the means to buy it

 

its my uncles mate, had spoke to him in advance, he's had the car ages but never really advertised it so he was willing to hold it for me

 

your gonna buy a RWD after the last time you drove one lol wisemove ??? lol at least its yours incase ya prang it lol

Looks a lovely motor mate go for it

 

of course mate, practice makes perfect, alot off better drivers than me crashed that weekend so i wont be put off lol

 

A panels rot mate

 

an old english axle will be alot more of a handful than a e36 M3 lol

 

i know mate, i was planning to weld the diff up and get loads of practice in (and i dont mean in the rain like the m3) lol
