dansGTI Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Being a dad makes me face facts. I'm never going to get round to doing what I truly want with this, and it's making me quite sad seeing her sat outside neglected. In total, I've owned it twice, over a period of 10 years! It's been on escortevolution for the same amount of time and most old skool people on here know the car. It's been through many different wheels and looks, and is now as the pics show below. Current spec: 3dr black gti, rs2k interior, Weitec coilovers, hiSpec 4 pot brakes, magnet and filter. Otherwise it's now standard. Used to have Morrettes but these are long gone. Front bumper is now a grey one (I binned the old one as it had cut outs for indicators in). Has mint set of wheels with perfect Pirelli tyres. She has not been MOT'd for about 4 years now, but has been driven, and everything still works as it should. The reason she came off the road was due to me having plans, which never materialised, she has never failed an MOT. She needs a good home, and in my opinion, does not deserve to be broken as the shell is still in fantastic condition. I have cleaned and painted underneath about 4 times to keep it that way. But will now need doing again if you want to keep this an unwelded Escort!! The arches are solid, just tiny little specs appearing. The worst rust is a 2 inch long bubbling bit above drivers door. That's it. Sills, chassis legs, bootlid, are all rock solid. I've taken pics to show. I put the original interior in the lift many years ago and this is near concours, and can be negotiated on. Car has done 90k, and I have all manuals and keys. I'm not going to give it away, as it's stood around for this long, so I'm not too worried if it takes a few more years! But I'm hoping there is still somebody out there that loves these as much as I used to. PM me for more info.

dansGTI Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 consider breaking for parts? No mate sorry. That's a waste in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) £500 Brakes, coilovers, Recaro interior and wheels are worth that! Edited July 14, 2013 by dansGTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 how big are the brakes mate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 how big are the brakes mate?? Good question! 288 I believe, (they definitely aren't bigger than 300) and they're 4 pots. They p*ss all over the oh so common Mondeo or any other common mk6 brake upgrade. They used to have great bite, and have red stuff pads fitted. The cars done about 3k on this setup, no more. Oh, braided lines and dot5.1 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Location, any MOT or Tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Location, any MOT or Tax? Please read my description No MOT or tax.if it did, price would be a lot more. Please note, nobody is driving this home! It hasn't had an MOT in a few years so will need the discs cleaning up a bit and checking over. That said, I don't know of any issues that will fail an mot. It certainly does NOT need welding. A good service, a clean, and a run and I think it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 I can also do this minus the wheels and Ford Radio for £400. Or minus the wheels radio and interior for 350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't suppose youd be interested in a swop for either a 2000 escort van or a 2001 vw polo atall would you? I really want another escort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi mate, I've no need for a van or Polo mate. Got a Passat, Caddy, 2x Beetles, the RS and the GTi. I'm being too greedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
