Guest MK1gaz Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Don't sell any of them mate as it's too hard to decide . It's much easier to kill yourself instead !!!!!!!!
Guest MK1gaz Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Even i can't decide and they're not even mine !!!!!!!!!!
kevmk2 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Id sell the tina but then im biased towards an escort Good luck with whatever you decide to do
Mk 1 Mark Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Kev you know my thoughts mate,But you do what suits you and as per phone call Sell the escort as a nice 2 dr Mk1 cortina`s will be even harder to find and i know you want one of them....Plus will alway hold there money..... You have had loads of Mk2`s But see what your offered and go from there Although the Mk2 is almost ready to fit up and use..........
Rick Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 sell the chosen one to someone thats likely to sell it you back to you at a later date
105Ian Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 I would sell the Escort , as the Cortina is always going to be the better looking car and there are less of them about
tazrocks88 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 if it was a mk1 escort it would make it a harder choice but as it is a mk2 i would say keep the tina
huxmk1estate Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 if it was a mk1 escort it would make it a harder choice but as it is a mk2 i would say keep the tina dito^^^^^ which ever you choose...we will be behind you dude
mk1super Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Pass mate its a tough one, id ask myself which one with the cossie lump will be the most fun to drive? Also what will cost less to finish? I'd sooner sell a kidney it would be an easier choice.
kevmk2 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 The escorts closer to being finished i think, Its already linked and mostly sprayed. Drop an engine and box in and bobs your auntie
puddy Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Theres not enough cossied cortinas about Escort would be a lot easier to convert and finish though . puddy
kev16v Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 escort is closer ie all but painted so yer it would be quicker to finish but the cortina has had all the running gear in it so i know it all fits ive even had the rad/intercooler moddid to fit its to hard to call
jed Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 how about sell wife and kids and keep the cars
kev16v Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 the mrs dont really give me any sh** about my cars and the kids lov-em so no gain in that. told her tonight about the anglia an she said do what u want if u want it get it but i can't afford three oldskool racer's so one's going to make way for me anglia
wakesey11 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 cossie the tina m8,u no it makes sense!!!!!
Toby Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Why do you need the box so bad?? Have you been "using" the other two up till now, and now you've seen something better, you, you, you SLUT!!
DarrenM Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 There is no contest for me, a MK1 Cortina 2 door is a lot harder to replace than a MK2 Escort and it's Tax exempt as well!
