Check for RUST, RUST and MORE RUST, there isnt that many places that MK4/S2 shells dont rot, unless u have found a good one, its very widely posted about MK4 escort rotting places so go to the ROSC site and do a search

the RS kit can hide real nightmares and so can the sunroof ..........so do your research well, many people think they have a mint car on thier hands until they get the car home and delve a little deeper, check PAPERWORK and all the legal stuff, make sure it is an RS, the ROC guys know there stuff so id be keeping a very close eye on their forum!!!!!

rust
check the back arches/sills and most of all the rear chassis rails (where the rear spring top meets the chassis)
these were well and truly shagged on mine - had i checked the rails before i bought it i wouldnt have even touched it.

whatever ur intentions for the car, get the carpets out and get it up on a ramp. and scrutinise the underside, epecially wher the sills meet the rear wheel arches but look from under the car, rather than with the car on the ground, good luck mate, theyre top fun cars..................
