Parts - not really many Escorts about.

 

Very few infact... I dont know anyone who has even seen a Mk2 escort here.

 

Mk1's are more popular... but still, there are only a few about... and parts are VERY limited.

But i have met a guy at a garage here and his restoration work is amazing. Some of the jobs he has done, it is impossible to tell he has done anything, but i know he has as i have seen the before and after...

Heres hoping for the Cortina :wink:

Hmmm, i'd say it's no bad thing that you missed out that particular 'gem'

 

Yeah looks a a bit too gone for anything other than a few bits, nice find tho! :thumbsup:

 

Cortina looks cool, original lotus?

I am surprised to see an escort as mint lookin as the silver 4 door over there !!! nice to see some tidy motors surviving without the parts back up we have here. Good luck with your search :thumbsup:

Posted

I want a 2 door... sorry... had a 4 door mk2 escort before, it was as fun as the 2 door, i agree, but 2 doors always look better :thumbsup:

 

The search continues..............................

 

I think the engine in the Mk1 is a Toyota... there are fooking 1000's of the things here!!!

Posted

Well... the Mk1 is too expensive for me (i think)... I dont know exactly how much he wants as he wont tell me a price, i haven't seen any other pictures and the car is 12 hours drive away from where i live...

 

But i spotted this which is close to where i live...

Just looking at this... again it 12 hours away though.

Looks in great cond, but a little bit out of my price range and not really the car i want...

He says it 200bhp, new rear axle, intercooler, turbo timer, most of the things on the car have been re-newed.

He says he did 200kmph but after that he was scared... :D

Maybe go take a look.......................
