Yeh so basicly due to having more cars than space I'm going to have to consider selling my escort project.
Basicy what ive got is a 2 door shell thats had a rough life but is still very original. It requires alot less welding to finish than your average escort but theres more than the average amount of bodywork to be done aswell so it kind of balances out. I think the best thing for it would be to have some bubble arches fitted as this would cover up the bad rear quarters. ive got a pair of glass rear arches and a pair of glass front wings with the arches moulded in which i would like to include with the shell. I have also got a new back, front and slam panel to go with it.
Currently the shell rolls on a stock 1100 axle on the back and stock struts on a modifed x-member at the front. I have pretty much everthing avalible for it including a good set of doors, bonnet and boot, glass, lights, pedal box, dash, wiper motors, loom etc etc. As some of you will know i used to have a 4 door and basicly this was stripped and i still have all the parts from it which are avalible by negotiation.
Engine and box wise you have a choice, i have many many engines and boxes that would go in it from 1100 x-flows to zetecs. It would have to be negotiated which one (if any) came with it
Price will obviously depend on what comes with it but id be looking for around £650 for the rolling shell, glass arches, wings and repair panels.
I seme to have mislayed the pics i took recently so heres one of the shell after i got it a few years ago. Its now dry stored and has been fully stripped (apart from the axels etc.)
One for a serious car builder i think
