escort mk4 a friend owns? advice!
we know some friends who have had a 1989 escort mk4 from new (horsham fords in sussex its from), 3 door and in sky blue, been sorn'd for nearly 10 years in the garage. its been garaged most of its life and i had a brief look over it today, its bloody clean shell, had no welding etc....! few little scabs, sills are perfect and worst rust is about 2 or 3 inches on the offside rear arch! interior is very dirty but will clean up well i quickly nipped by today and asked them if i could have a look as they are going to scrap it they said 
what do i do buy it off them and save it from scrapping as its way too good to scrap for the £200 odd they would get scrap?? thinking about it cleaning it up and selling it on, will be perfect for a sleeper or turbo conversion? would hate to see it scrapped! what ya reakon??

Deffo wont get 200 scrap. Its between80 & 130 a ton her and changes daily. Get it bought and slip a 2.0 zetec in it for a daily reliable old escort. Thats what i'd do

If it is as you say it will pay for its self - If it has been stored it will be very low mileage, This will add to value, even if you get it done by other people:
Valet inside and out £40
MOT £40
Break pads all round £40
break fluid £10
Oil (good stuff) £20
oil filter £5
fix rust on arch £60
so we are at about £215 plus cost of car to get it in order cat at scrap is £150 so you need to sell for £365 and if the shell is that clean you will probably get double that!
Go on save the car or PM me and I'll do it!!!!!!
