purple escort was built by me (which i still own)(now up for sale)
i got it featured in july 99 classic ford where it was on the front cover
i live in haverhill suffolk
when i bought it , i got given every mags magazine it was in as they was building her + the chap that has done the floor resto took extensive photos of his build .
Just leaves me to finish off what he started
hi all
anyone remeber the old revs mag mk2 escort they built in the mid 90's .
Orange with forest arches .......
its now mine
needs alot of work now though , but has just undergone an extensive floor resto inc 5 link rear set up .
i have a spare cossie engine that is going up front . will try & get photos up asap
thanks for the comments guys ,
I dont know why i havent used it for a couple of years . i gave it a quick blast (up a private road ) today . It felt great to be rwd again .
I think i am abit concerened about the whole credit crunch thing , being self employed & all that . Then just seeing the escort sit their gavering dust - Oh well i have started the ball rolling for selling her now . Have to see what happens - As long as she goes to a good home .
i have a spare cossie engine i was saving for the old girl , the plans were there but everytime i went to start it felt like i was cutting a piece of me ,
might haveto do it with another shell
it just seems a shame for it 2 sit there .
it has been available to use for the last 2 years but i have choosen not to .
i dont want it to sit there and become a barn find in 10 years time
what with my escort cosworth , 2 motorbikes , 3 other vehicles and a business to run , i havent used her 4 the last 2 years and cant see me having any time to tinker .
i would love to 5 link & cossie it but she is a bit to attached to me to start hacking with a grinder
just put the mk2 up for sale - i think i am gonna cry .
had her for 13 years
why or how do we get attached to lumps of metal that cost us a fortune , many arguments with the wives & lots of pain!!
