mikeypr1 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 This week I will be picking up a r reg 3 door I've got most of the stuff I need already like kit and bumpers I was determined the si would be my last escort but escort number 15 will be arriving soon. Wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeypr1 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've had loads over the years from mk3 onwards Rot set in a few of my mk3s A crash killed my mk4A utter robbing b&£)ard took my xr3iOne of my mk5s had utter electric failure And the other was a rot boxAnd my si had an accident on a four post liftAnd the others have been traded in This time all the stuff came up at the right price so thought one last go. Cut a long story short I'm just daft...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Cut a long story short I'm just daft...... You're not the only one. Sometimes I wonder how much simpler my life would be if my main criteria for buying a car wasn't that it has to be a 3 door Escort and how much money I'd have probably saved.

mikeypr1 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Small update the escort has arrived some good points some bad.Good points:It a good base to startThe interior seems pretty cleanIt starts Bad points:The exhaust sounds like it's had it (but it's going anyway)The tailgate won't open with the keyBig ass crack in the front bumperIt's smells rank Haven't got it on a ramp yet to look underneath I'm expecting the chassis legs to have had it and some sill work to be done.But not bad for a swap for a peugeot 106 I got for 60 quid at an auction BARGIN.

sidrick Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Rust does look bad to me, but fair play for taking this one. Count me in for the updates. You're a braver man than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
