Waxmonkey Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) here's me motor - just been up to see it!! didn't look this bad at the time. as my dad said 'christ, that's one helluva wallop'. as suspected, it's a write-off. £2500 worth of damage. the main damage is on the wheel - needs new axel n stuff. shame really, tidy motor. however, the bloke who works there has a similar escort for sale, S reg, 1.8si 3 dr 60k - asking £1300 for it - so I might buy that.
