Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 It's an Escort Cabaret TD 5 Door (hence the reason i was asking about the spec of the cabaret model) Work needed for MOPT are 1. 2 New bottom arm's as the bushes are split (surprise surprise!!) 2. Handbrake needs adjusting (probably end up sticking new shoes in too) 3. Park light bulbs need replacing All the above is the info i got from the seller. Not much really and only one piece of rust on the drivers rear arch that i can see from the pic's anyway. And the heart of the Beast!! LOL Anyone wanna guess what i won it for without searching for it on e-bay?
Mike C Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Heath?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> that colour is called Heath. Quite rare, lol
Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Oh rite Mike wondered what you were on about there. So that's a good thing then? owner described it as Dark metallic green. TIDYKART - It's got 95165 Oh and it's got NO tax/mot

TIDYKART - It's got 95165 Oh and it's got NO tax/mot<{POST_SNAPBACK}> unless it's the camera making it look different with the light shining on it, it looks like Heath Metallic Bronze to me
Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Am i right in thinking this should have the GTi style front bumper either with the fog's or with the honeycomb blanking plates???? can't really tell from the pic's
Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 I Know what colour your talking about nowMike and it does look like it in the pic of the tailgate but in the pic of the boot spoiler it look's green??? Anyway for what i won it for it could be diohrea brown OK maybe not that colour but you get the drift
Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 OK i won it for £100 was winning it for £50 for 6 days and 23 hours till some T*at tried to snipe me at the last minute and obviously did'nt enter enough LOL. I offered the guy £100 to end the auction early when i saw it last week but he insisted on letting the auction run.
tidykart Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 You'd probaly get twice or three times that back if ya broke it- not that you would, but that's what I would of done if selling it. Well done for winning it at that price-that's a steal!!
Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Yeah cheap as chips LOL i recently fitted a new cylinder head to my mates escort TD because his timing belt snapped causing the camshaft to snap and bend all the valves and that cost him (in parts only) £40 for a second hand cylinder head, £15 for a new timing belt and £15 for a new head gasket. Plus i charged him £30 to do the work total £100 plus price of things like anti-freeze etc so his repair cost more than this car PMSL!
Carl160180 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Only catch tho TIDYKART it's 100 miles from me in doncaster, so gonna have to hire a trailer and take a road trip this weekend.
BlairM Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Ya keeping this or selling it on again mate ? Good buy either way
