well it does have a yb in and alright it is a very expencive project 4 the person to do but look at how many normal saphs are being used 4 reshells i like it but id really look over it and then get someone else to cheek it over aswell but its still only a standard escort so will never be the real thing
someone will always know that it didnt come out the factory looking like that a
and is it me or i need to read up more (lol) but the petrol cap is well wrong ???????????

The easy wat to tell is the bulkhead panel
these are a one off on an escoss , and this 100% has a gen escoss bulkhead
this has no way ever been a built up shell , its a ringer end ov story

Hmmm, it's the wrong petrol cap for an escos isn't it? I also noticed the splitter is missing, but something at the back looks not right, can't quite put my finger on it, also, if it really was a rung escos it's got earlier mirror and engine to be on an M plate, could well be a stupidly expensive project but i'd defo stay well away.

I'm sure it's 100% genuine...
Thing is, the guy actually selling it might not know, but it's not something your likely to admit to is it!
