]Ok, thinking about selling my project T reg 1978 Escort Estate.
First off, its Mot'd for around 8 months and Tax'd til end of feb.
Its had new rear arches, new front wings, new outer sills and some welding around front floors, inner wing tops etc so although a very "clean" looking car, its not mint at all.
(but extremly presentable)
It has been stored since 1993 and has various paperwork up to this date, including tax disc etc. Apparently the lady who owned it (only the second owner) ran it as a daily for around 10 years and then lost her job in 93 so its sat in there til 2 years ago where was found by her neighbour who I then bought it off. so only has 4 owners from new (the guy I got it from never had it on the road)
was originally a 1.3 xflow and 4 speed but was extremly underpowered. I mot & tax'd it and used it with the 1300 for a couple of months but couldnt cope. (a water leak made my mind up) so I scourced a 2.0 sierra sapphire efi with type 9 5 speed and put it all in the escort.
Ive cut and shut the sump, gearbox tunnel, and prop shaft (but is very out of balance so is not nice to drive at all) ive been eyeing up the ebay ones for £110 1 piece bolt straight on.
Ive replaced the oil and filter, cambelt, antifreeze, gearbox oil, paid £50 to have the leaking matrix rebuilt etc etc
I have modded a 4 2 1 manifold and have an rs 2000 clutch cable. Ive also added a brand new 3 piece clutch.
The block is a 205.
Ive also scourced an early "ford" round headlight grill rather than the oval badge type.
Ive added 4 rs (capri laser) type alloys on very good 185/60/13 tyres.
It has new rear shoes and cylinders, all new copper barke pipes and all electrics work, even rear wiper, rear demist and brake fluid level check.
all it needs to drive away is a prop shaft. (although the cut n shut one is fitted still)
We made a quick side exit pipe to check everything is all good with the running etc, checking for leaks so will need an exhaust knocked up from the end of the manifold.
all it needs to finish is a better interior (i have all seats and carpet etc but is not in great nick)
£1995
