There's a Nissan S Cargo porthole van there too. They're worth more than you'd think, also.

Well good news and bad, news, just will get some pictures up in a bit.

The red one they want 2k...wow
I had a look around the yard, they also have 2 Mk1 Escorts
They also sell Cosworth engines.

To be honest they are all in a state, only the brave and mad would take on to restore. Which I know some of you Ford Nuts are.

I will get their full details over the weekend after I have asked them for permission.
I deserve some kind of commission for this detective work, and possibly saving the old skool from further death..lol

Quite a bit, maybe too much, I'd want to see under the bonnet and underneath, if the inner wings are ok, you'll probs get 2k for it
