How much would u expect to pay for one of these thats mint with a full cage already welded in?

 

there was one on ebay

 

thats the one im referencing to lol. just thought it seemed a bit over priced?

 

aah okk lol, i fort the same mate

 

how much do u reckon its worth then? im not sure its still for sale anyway as he wasnt replying to my questions and has now ended it early.

 

tbh im not sure, how much do you think it worth then ?,

 

prob about Ł600 - Ł700 max. hard to say really. it didnt have any bumpers or windscreen and there was dents to the floor behind the seat mounts which wud require knocking out as well and the roll cage wasnt finished by the bulkhead. but i spect that roll cage cost a bit so i dunno really!

 

I would value a 3 dr rolling mk3 escort shell that needs NO welding or paintwork at no more than Ł800. Obviously a lot more if a genuine RS16i or S1 shell

 

the one we are talking about was a 1.3 shell which needed no welding and had a fresh respray

 

how much for a respray?
weld in cage?
no welding required shell?

i think a custom cages weld in cage is about the 400 mark before you pay for labour to fit

 

a pic would be good to see what its like

grand easy

 

+1, a grand all day long ,looks ideal for a cossie conversion

 

Easy A grand. A proper Paint job costs more than that, so you'd get the cage and mint shell thrown in for free!

 

i would like to cossie convert but aint that confident on all the work to the shell that needs doin. so i was thinkin of stayin fwd

 

that cage must be best part of a grand buy its self

 

Best g you'll ever spend,welding up a shitter won't be far off that before paint,cage etc.

 

That's worth a grand, I would say, due to the cage, S1 kit and no wanky sunroof

 

think its sold now anyway. shame i wasnt quick enough

 

I took a mint shell (75k miles & FSH), seam welded it, fitted a bolt in cage, turreted the front strut tops, chopped the arches back and fitted an S1 bodykit, had my mate prep it in my garage then took it somewhere for the paint inside and out.
If i could have done that for a grand i would have been a very happy bunny

 

went to look at this today. its absolutely mint!
the only trouble is - how the feck do i get it on a trailer?!

 

get ya mates round

 

its gettin it on there in the first place thats the trouble. its about 150 miles from me. but gettin it off aint gonna be easy either cos my garage is at the top of the driveway on a hill. i was thinkin i might have to make a frame up to wheel it on and off

 

easy enough to make a dolly with some wood and some wheels you can bolt onto the wood,

then use some ratchet straps to secure the shell to the dolly

 

good idea

 

just use heavy duty castors / wheels

a mate done this and they collapsed

 

any idea where i can get some?

 

machine mart?????

 

Indeed Gus thats what i used fo collect mine

Safest way to move a shell

 

ahhhh! cheers for the pic. they are Ł100 each! flippin hell. is that for a pair or single dolly?

 

dont suppose u wanna lend me yours?!

 

just use old tyres..fook buying stuff like that for one use..me and 4 mates lifted my mk3 shell onto a trailer sitting on old tyres, then kept down with ratchet straps

 

yh its alright if u can persuade 4 mates to help u! like i said i gotta go 150 miles to get the shell so that aint gonna happen!

 

ha sthe bloke selling not got a few mates

 

i dunno mate its not the sort of thing u ask! do u have any mates or are u a loner? lol

 

see what your saying but chances are you will be travelling with at least one mate..then im sure the seller has one mate. 4 people will lift it no probs..in reality only 4 of us lifted mine as one of the lads was just a lazy cunt

 

yh i see ur point. better than spendin a ton on something ur gonna use once!
