lee the car come in for breaking after we stripped the trim out we found that it has never had any welding done on it, it only needed a little bit of welding on the rear wheel arch on the one side, even the inner wings battery try etc are all as mint as the car..
i put it up on piston heads and another site for sale i got so pissed of with time wasters i removed the add and just said fook it i will break it and scrap the shell its an E3 reg car and some in this condition are very hard to find, shame really at it would make a bloody good shell for track car, even the roof doesnt have a spot of rust
it will be broken up after ive done the s2 ive got now

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
I did, but it was both for sentimental reasons (my 1st car) and to learn (inc painting)
Click on my siggy. Yeh it's only an XR2, but brings a smile to my face everytime I go into the garage.
Oh, and it didn't cost me that much other than my own labour time. Probably save ££££'s staying out the pub too.

ive taken huge hits restoring and modifying 2 cars, around £40G and they were crappy old cars as well. its not about saving classics, dont kid yourself on , theyre just run of the mill old cars. its done as a hobby mainly.

Sad but true. With the rose-tinted specs off the blue oval badge doesn't automatically mean the car should have a full restoration.

I agree to that too.I just love the older fords compared to this modern day shite.Anyone can buy a newish ford and mod it.The older fords just need that bit more attention and care.

any old rotton xr 2 or 3 needs all the good bits taking off and welding up which is cheep if you can do it and taking round the track in the hot fords.
thats why them classic banger racerss get grief,to restore a big jag costs big money yet a banger racer can strip and sell off loads of bits which enthusiasts buy up then race the car and still sell possibly the running gear and then take the scrap over the bridge.

Found a mint mk3 xr3i in a barn not far from me. 2 owners from new, been there 20 yrs, could be restored to concourse easily, dash has no cracks. was in a crash, repaired , but while being repaired the owner bought a xr4i and just stuck the escort in his barn when he got it back. Friend mine offered £800 for it so far, but the guys quite happy leaving it in his barn for another 20 yrs. (he also has a rotted out mk1 golf shell in the yard and a old double Decker bus in the barn).
