Hi Brian,

i couldn't keep it for myself, i like my saff and my Escorts to much, she can't wait to get in it for xmas, but she'll have to.
she's already bought the cd's she wants and other stuff she wants in it, i have the new bumper, the Parcel shelf, getting some new rims for her, so it will be looking http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'll see if i have enough time when i'm on my way home and call in http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif

Phew m8!!!! a fair bit of work to do then?. but it will be worth it in the end eh. Any news on that other matter????. my drive is EMPTY!!!!!!! http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clint.gif Weird.

RSescorts

11-11-2002, 22:34

Hi Rick
It's not that bad, http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clint.gif
it will take about 4 days to get all sorted ready for painting,
then painting will be 2/3days and fitting every thing back on 2 days, so about 9 days, http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/tongue.gif

i'm home for 12 minimum, and as long as i dont get stuck into anything else i'll have it finished, http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/snore.gif
hardest is going to be getting fuel out of the fuel tank, and in to some containers, it's about half full, so the escorts will have full tanks http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

as for the empty drive, i've heard nowt, i'll txt him and reply in a few days time.

cheers..............Ken

I finished off the boot and tailgate, and while stripping down for painting i found that the drivers wing was like tin foil, well as thick as http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/sad.gif

so new wing is needed

Hi Brian,
it will be finished for the Durhams group bash at Croft, my lass is doing the 0-60 in it, he hee hee.

that's what she thinks, http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wall.gif she can polish it and show it and thas it, if she wants 0-60 i'll let her use on of the escorts, but definatly not my Cossie http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clint.gif as it is so fast now, it was bad before then i got used to it, but after a day with cossiekid (Sean) i'm Shiteing myself again,

Heres a bit of a bonus Ken.. Dominion ins are just now classing ALL 3Door cossis (Except the 500 http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif???) As "Classic" that means mucho cheaper insurance http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/banana.gif

RSescorts

03-04-2003, 22:50

Rick,
I don't Use Dominion,
I use a classic traders Policy which covers me for all my cars and my spares, also my motorsport stuff,
but if it is cheap with Dominion, and it would have to be very cheap, then maybe i'd think about it....

While i'm here, a couple more pics of the wing http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clint.gif
