faults with the car:

exhaust rattling - will try and look at that if i get a chance

whistling out the intake pipe when warmed up

weld patch on chasis rail has surface rust coming back through as welder was a gun slinging horse rider

n/s rear shock leaking, having new shocks delivered, dunno when - will include with car

both rear arches are rusting

both rea quarters and back bumper need re-spraying

rub strips need re-spraying

wing mirror casings need re-spraying

hand brake pointing to the roof, has new shoes so needs new cable (got new RS ones too fit with the RS back brakes)

all the paint work could do with addressing really

tracking is out - got tracking done but they said needs new track rod ends and possibly track rods (haven't looked yet)

drivers door barrel is knackered so unlocking from passenger side - have a remote kit that i never got round to installing (£20)

 

as i say, nothing hugely major, just irritating and i dont have as much free time as i would like and need a slightly bigger car for helping round the house as get alot of complaints in the back of the escort.

I reckon if you have £2-300 and some spare time, you could get this car looking amazing. just deserves someone who can commit to the time

Wasn't there a fault with the gearbox also? That's what it said in your thread anyway?...

oh yeah, almost forgot, the selector rod plastic bush is worn so the selector rattles a bit when you put your foot down in 2nd and 3rd and when changing to 3rd can miss it occasionaly.

 

also front windscreen isnt mot failure but has large number of small chips and scratches that in direct sunlight make it hard to see out of.

got quoted £160 + vat for new one and fitting or £89 if i have the non heated one
