Well its finally happened.
i know Nearly own an escos. Deposit Payed and car will be on boat tonight/early morning.
To say im excited is an understatement.
I dont think i could have done better for the money and im so gklad i held out for a sub 10k one as it sounds better than a lot of the over 10k ones ive looked at.
Wonder if you can guess what one it is lol.
Will look nice next to the saff.
Literally cannot wait. since i first saw one i always wanted one 15 years ago, for you guys that have had loads you may not understand but for us that havent it really is a dream come true.
Ive worked hard for it and it will be so looked after its unreal.
A new addition to the family!

I know every one is saying well done for the car and all that, and top marks to ya it looks a stunner, and you have seen a few s**ters, but i would like to say a big well done for converting Lou in to the cosworth's as i know she was not that keen so well done

Well it has arrived.
Saw it under the garage lights so its very unflattering.
Its not mint but a clean usable escos.
It could do with the front bumper wings and bonnet blowing over but thats because im a bit of a perfectionist other than that seems nice.
Theres that usual cosworth rattle when turning off or when pulling away as the clutch is seriously violent. Ive never actually got to the bottom of what that rattle is on a lot of my other cars but im sure some of you will enlighten me and if you cant joe will when he sees it.
So overall im happy, I have not been able to drive it properly so im looking forward to tommorow.
unfortunately its out of tax and mot this month so will need both, I got it cheaper than you guys think though so im happy.
Heres some terrible pics for you as requested.
Oh and Yes i have a big smile on my face!

All hoovered out and interior is in great condition, Have ordered some tailored car mats as the rubber ones that were in it were shocking.
And making it stink of rubber lol.
have washed it but was spending so much time doing it that it got dark.
tommorow is polish and wax time and then it will be engine bay.
Ive bought a chrome coil holder lol and i want to paint the coil black as its got some soppy sticker on it.
Have found the floor is a bit dented from being jacked on it so will need to go into bodyshop i know to get that sorted and also a tiny bubble around petrol cap
All in all a very nice car
I wouldnt sell it for 2k more than i paid and thats not like me so i think that tells you im pleased.
Cheers for all the comments guys.
dunno what will be its first outing yet, was thinking trax but wouldnt leave it in carpark.
