Chris XR2 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) My old daily hack Escort is up for sale, it was going to fail the MOT on a few things like the track rod end, lower arms, welding on the chassis rails and a rear brake pipe. I decided to take it off the road and get it sorted, I replaced the lower arms, track rod end and both droplinks, but then I got fed up with it and decided to buy a new car. All these items have been around the block once to get them settled, so are as new. £300 takes it as is, you'll make more by breaking it, or if you can weld it'll be a cheap fix to get it MOT'd. It's standard aside from a cat-back Magnex, done 109k and has a FSH (last service done by myself with receipts to prove.) Few dents and cracks in bumper etc, but a decent honest car. Also have a pepper red bonnet to go with it. No Tax or MOT, so will need to be trailered away. Have the advisory sheet from last years MOT to show the problems I started to sort. Pic of it from late 2008 on the RR - made 110.5bhp - not bad for 98k! :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/chris2i/DSC00101.jpg Car is in Swindon, Wiltshire. right, this has been up for 5 hours and I've had just as many queries about it! to answer some of those questions: - I'm not intending on breaking it just yet, hopefully it'll go as a whole.- It's £300, I'm not taking offers on it as it's already very cheap considering the new parts fitted in addition to the desirable GTi bits and the full stainless.- Some new pics will follow, light hasn't been great this evening but I'll see how they come out when I get the pics on the computer at work in the morning.- I do have the V5, it is my car and has been since 2005 - I am the second owner.- Yes it does have aircon, but no it does not work. You might get away with a regas but I can't guarantee that. Edited October 4, 2010 by PeeWee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I didn't mate - the front passenger one is the only one missing I still want to let the car go as a whole - I will only break it if it doesn't go by next month sometime...
