Mk3 escos 400bhp or the card ???? EDIT- thats me halfway!!
Right guys i cant decide, some of you know that i have bought a mk3 shell that is minty mint with something daft like 25k on the clock, this shell was bought for a 4x4 conversion, i was going to make it a series 1 copy in every way apart from about 400bhp and 4 wheel drive 
Well recently someone asked if i was selling, i said no at first but i have this niggling feeling that i should be putting the money towards the credit card (which is very high). I also think i have gone off the series 1 idea and want a mk4 shape??? I wouldnt be able to start the conversion till next year anyway if i kept the shell and jackos real busy too.
I dont know, whats your thoughts,
Series 1 , Series 2 , a sleeper (kinda like wennys) or pay the card and wait till next year.

i'd pay the card off personally mate - i know it'd be wicked fun terrorising people in a 4wd mk3 rocket on track days / traffic light grand prix's.. but sometimes you just have to be sensible and pay off the debts first.

Definitely pay the card off mate.
Worst case if you dont is that you'll end up depressed, standing back with your x amount of debt filling your thoughts, looking at a (probably broken or rough running) MK3 Escort and wondering why you plumbed all your money into that rather than going debt-free for a while and buying something to potter around with as and when you have cash free...

they just phoned!
its the heater resistor,
the drain test will be around 89 quid????
but to fit the new resistor its 148 ish i presume plus vat.... for everything, so might as well get it done since its basically the same price. I take it take about 2 mins to put a new resistor in and that why she kept the same labour charge?
they hadnt looked at the over heating, i told the girl that the radiators been replaced and the water pump, could they start it up in the workshop and see if the gauge goes up after a while? she away to get them to do it.

15 mins to fit the resistor mate on the computer can do it in a couple mins if you know what your doing! I knew they would charge you a bit for checking & i bet the tech went straight to the resistor fault without doing a drain test because the panel was working with the ignition off..

Yeah got a mail from jacko a couple of days ago, should have some cash sorted next week, and its going straight to the card! Still a long way to go but over the winter i will sell the bike too hopefully and put another 7 grand to it! Shouldnt take long if i knuckle down and just get on with it. I dread to think how much i have given the bstds over the years! Still another 15k to go but the bike will make a dent in it. sheesh
