yeh looks like u did have 4 doors on it for no reason lol like i says i measured it and measured 2 other escorts and also invited any escort owner up to check,

and has for what i done to the escos i never touched that car all i done with started it up and punched the hole of it

and whats with another name youve made up then locky lol gave yourself a too bad of a name yeh

AND AS FOR THIS PATTERN PART PISH U KEEP GOIN ON ABOUT IVE SEEN MANY HADRIAN PANELS AND WINGS FITTED ETC AND NONE HAVE EVER BEEN FITTED AS BAD AS THAT LOL I KNOW BOYS WHO TRIM THEM TO SUIT TO FIT THEM NOT JUST THROW THEM ON LIKE U DID

well if this is the problem then thats not a bent shell! just bad fabrication, listen to the man that knows, like wenny said its just metal it can be fixed. just gone over the photos and the door pockets dont touch the seats either, its a good build but when looking through the thread from the beginning it felt rushed but thats just my opinion

Everything you just said to do prove this wasn't bent I had done when the spoofer says it was bent I measured sill to sill and compared to other escorts aswell and there was only 2-3mm in it wich wasn't an exact measurement anyway as you can't get near the sills for the tunnel but close enough for comparison also I fitted standard escort doors on the car and proved that doors shut fine all was backed up by pics, it really doesn't bother me anymore cause in the end I was still up on the deal bottom line is he was pissed got he got the bad end of the deal and considering he was flogging the car on here for 10.5k then a week later says it was bent just shows you he's not exactly speaking truth somewhere, someone else has the car now and good luck to him he's got a great car and I'm sure he will be happy with it regardless what anyone else thinks

I couldn't give a shit what you think about your precious ford scene and as for us mongs up north, think you'll find that we are the genuine people and not passionford die Hards who suck farts out each other's arses hence why I rarely use this site anymore full of fuds and I wouldn't say all lads south the border as there is a few great guys down there who we get on with just fine

This sites just getting worse and worse mongs from up north nice of u to tar everyone with the same brush when u don't even know them?did u even own the car why come away with a statement like that last time I checked wasn't the so called bent mk3 built down south?whos the mong....as for your user name too many posts need a life think u should get one!

As pip7rs said a new owner has the car and I think everyone should let the owner enjoy it instead of carrying on this thread

Left scotland years ago eh. Maybe run out when you lost all your mates for being a fanny. And you've just proved with one stupid comment why some people in Scotland want independence.
