Cheers dude.
Needs a bit of work for the MOT, gotta find drivers door glass for it first.
Really looking forward to getting it on the roard, might even give it some paint

Yeah, don't you just love that colour.
Might paint it so it's all the same shade of blue

Excellent! Escort alternatives FTW! Doesn't look bad at that price. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Yeah, it's pretty good.
Needs new rear arches, but that's no big deal and he's supplying the panels.
Only tricky bit is finding a new drivers door window, time to suck up to the owners club.
£300 is a bargain IMO, you'd get a pile of rust that used to be an escort for that money ;D

Good call I approve, A real retro old car  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

just realised, road tax wise, in two years you'll be in profit!  So don't feel too bad throwing £400 on it |

Superb purchase! Definately bargainous, even if it wasn't tax free it would still have been a steal but thats the cherry on the cake |

The best bit is that I get the original rims with it too, so I might get them banded and fit the hub caps

Finally got it home last night, after an intrepid expedition that broke one or two laws along the way. It's by no means a fast car, infact it makes my girlfriends KA look positively sporty. And it's a lot more dented and rusty than the guy let on. Anyway, it's mine now, time to bash some dents, weld some holes and cut some springs   |
