May 17, 200519 yr Author edit all of the sound system listed is included, the sub and amp are coming out if its sold
May 17, 200519 yr about 1k genrously, and thats saying you find someone who falls in love with it Really need that cambelt sorted, or it could cost you £50 to get it scrapped
May 17, 200519 yr Author thats sounding maybe a little low but it seems in the right ball park, baring in mind how rear the kit is and i know oyu don't get ya money back on mods but the kit was only fitted a few months ago and most of the parts on it are practically new, cheers for your input lee
May 17, 200519 yr Author i can scrap for free and i think i'd make mor ebreaking it but i don't want to the cam belt ain't overdue, it must have had one sometime or it would have snapped by now, the pump and kit are waiting till i can afford for my mechanic friend to do it
May 17, 200519 yr Author about 1k genrously, and thats saying you find someone who falls in love with it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i could sell the kit, wheels, sus and zorst for that as there total new value would be twice that so i'm sure its worth more than 1k
May 17, 200519 yr 1k sounds EXTREMELY generous to me, can get so many Mk6's now for less than 1k and GTi's start at around 1500/1600 quid
May 17, 200519 yr Author nothing on the car at the mo is more than four five months old most of it less and the only secondhand things i've bought are things that don't wearout like strut braces
May 17, 200519 yr Author Ross if it was standard or just sat on some alloys and a zorst fair enough, but its not??
May 17, 200519 yr Always a difficult question when trying to sell a modded car.As for rust on the rear arches, escorts tend to rust from the inside out on the arches, a good tip is to waxoyl the arches from inside the boot until it drips out the bottom of the sill.Try Ebay for a bit of advertising leaving your mob number for contact?
May 17, 200519 yr Ross if it was standard or just sat on some alloys and a zorst fair enough, but its not?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> if it was standard it'd be £500 mate
May 17, 200519 yr Ross if it was standard or just sat on some alloys and a zorst fair enough, but its not?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The fact your cars got a lego brick kit on it makes it less desirable becuase your cutting done the market range your car is in. Your get more in parts, and im not being sarcastic
May 17, 200519 yr i would say around 800 quid, at the end of the day its a a mk5b, so not the newest escort, and you can pick up modified mk6's for around 1k, so i would say yours is less at around 700-800 quid mark
May 17, 200519 yr Author lego brick kit... its seriously rare ford RS zender 500 standard well only if it id had a new belt/ pump and mot
