	... RUST! THis is rusty, that is rusty, this is rotten, that's falling apart. Look at all this rust. You're gonna need that welding, "perscribed area is corroded" etc etc So after spending the best part of the day lying under my car with wire brushes and various "rust remidys" that prob don't even work and being totally p***sed off with it all just to peek out from under my car to catch a glimps the the back end of the missis car.... with almost no wheel arches left either and thinking how much it would cost me to send them both to a restoration shop. I thought i'd not come on here and whinge about it. But be thank full it's not as bad as it could be! like this sierra or Anyone know any good vehicle restors witin an Hour of the west Mids? Proper restorers not just body shops? Ta

	Not really. The story goes to why all of those cars are there is because when he was selling them cars back in the day, he wouldnt take a lower price for them, so just left them to rot. I even remember them when I was a really young boy going past. Seems a decent bloke. My friend knows him well. Was there an Escort RS1600i there? My father went to look at that car 12 years ago!

	Safe as, I can do Rust like the pro's yo! As dragged out... might need a fettle with a MIG? Ah, hold on, I stood in it and it's fallen in half... had to undo 2 bolts and clout the B pillar with a club hammer a couple of times, and we had this! Interestingly, the car was driven there with an MoT about 9 years ago. Yeah, enthusiasts still told me I should save it....
