Firstly why is all this not simply added in here?

http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/forums/in...c=132310&hl=

Secondly we have a wanted section mate just put your parts list in there.

Thirdly feel free to also use both the Electrical section & the Mechanical section for any questions regarding problems.

Fourthly (& most important) where will sell the biggest popcorn in Cheshire this time of night as I think ill need it? :innocent:

 

 

yes i am aware of all the different places but as i just wanted to explain my day with the garage i thought i may as well just post a simple topic about it.

 

But its all an ongoing situation with the same car Danny, nothing changes that. Those wishing to follow your cars journey wont know all this (unless your about to say all this there too)?

I can merge it with the other topic if you prefer?

 

 

yes can do if you wish, but was saving it for actual progress with the car, i didnt think this was progress, just a story although i do understand what you mean

 

May be able to get my hands on a W reg escort TD it only needs a clutch but think its going for scrap, I'll let you know tomorrow if you want m8..

 

be amazing if you find one mate especially if its a mk5b

Put them on hold.

 

Find out if this W reg is available, then post an event to see how many people would be interested in coming to help. Make sure you've got a barbeque and an engine hoist hired.

 

 

What's happened to the old Evo spirit? It's a CAR CLUB after all!

100% agree, its an awful lot of cash Danny tempting as it may be.

You also have to be cautious with garages too, they say 1k now but if you roll over theyre likely to hit various problems along the way & you will see the price hike rapidly over the next few weeks.

Once they have started & you agree to the 1k they have you with no way to pull out.

If they want the job they will wait, they are not going anywhere.

Poor Bloo, sort your head out Dan, take your time with it, you can not rush perfection and that car once was perfect!! Don't rush and make mistakes.

 

Get a grip.

 

As much as I like what this car used to be, a multi-coloured mk5 diesel Escort is not 'perfect'.

 

 

 

If you re read my post you will see I said it was ONCE perfect, I never called it perfect now, it is far from it!?

 

Also, I think he should do the work himself to cut costs, hence the "sort your head out" quote.

Oh, I see, so once upon a time it wasn't a multi-coloured Escort diesel.

 

Ok.

Get a rusty MOT fail escort (theres a few about) and transfer all the stuff over, either do this yourself or get it dropped to the garage, it wouldn't cut the total cost but would reduce their work time

 

The garage would say its not worth it, and they probably scrap off many escorts for much less but its not really down to them to suggest 'you sell it back' :censored:

Ok.

It's been sitting for a fair while and the laquer has faded. It was certainly less multicoloured once-upon a time. I reckon a proper mop and polish would even things out a fair bit.

Dan where is the car RIGHT now? can we go collect? if so I will be at yours in 20 minutes with the truck & a tow rope, do not let the garage go ahead with it.

 

 

Not likely to be open at this time of night & they surely wont start work until his say so.

Theres no panic but Danny I would consider Lee's offer to get the car back.

I know, I'm just saying that by definition, a mk5 Escort cannot be perfect.
