The time has finally come to put my girlfriends Escort up for sale. It's been stood for 5 years, and there's no hope of getting it back on the road again. It's a 1.3 Bonus, with the HCS engine in it, with solid state ignition. I last started it about 2 years ago, and it turned over first time after 3 years. The condition of the engine now however I cannot vouch for. Really, I'm only selling it as a shell with wheels, that's all it's good for really, the price is what I'll get for it scrap. The body is solid, last time I checked it hadn't gone rusty (about 4 months ago). It'll need a full respray as some **** scratched the paint work.
As she stands now
This isn't as bad as it looks. The rust is just surface, everything you see here is still solid.
A small bit of rust where the heater matrix let go. It doesn't go through, so a small repair here and she'll be good as new.
Seat mount repaired a long time ago before we got the car. It's that well done, I didn't even know it had been repaired until the carpet came out
Both the doors and the boot suffer from this-typical Escort really. It's not bad enough that it can't be repaired
The bits are all in the boot. It came out when the car was going to be resprayed, then the money ran out.
The car comes with a copy RST kit. It's curse word really, don't fit right, but the spoiler is pretty good. Also has Recaros up front. The bumpers are XR3i up front and standard black on the rear but sprayed silver. There's a proper RST bumper in the back, just never got round to painting it.
So there you have it. Obviously it'll need trailering away-unless you have a death wish. Overall, it's pretty solid and would make a good reshell for a damaged or rotten RST or XR3i. Any more info, please PM. Thanks!
