mk1mexico Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 ...Paid a deposit on my new project!!! I had an advert in 'cars wanted' for a 4 door mk2 escort for a little project with about 800 quid to spend. Can anyone guess what i picked up for the money??
Fishtailparka Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 An RS shell with logbook and tags?
mk1mexico Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 Your both right. Clever dicks
Fishtailparka Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Good guess wasn't it Nice one mate, I'm surprised it hadn't sold earlier
mk1mexico Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 Me neither, whether i get round to working on it or not, it was worth it to sit in the garage. He has admitted that the doors included arent tin the best condition though, so will be a struggle finding some of them. Although if i track it, i may just go fibreglass
mk1mexico Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 In two minds whether to flat front it, and arch it, or keep the nosecone??
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 26, 2009 Admin Report Posted January 26, 2009 Looks like a good project Graham You'll need this then so you can have a sister for your Mk1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-FORD-FOCUS-ST ... 8001r24187
Paul F Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 That REALLY is good for the money! Have prices dropped?
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 that looks like a very solid shell nice one
bigglesmk2 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I think a propper rs2000 should have a nosecone... ......I do prefer a flat front tho
V6MAT Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I think a propper rs2000 should have a nosecone... ......I do prefer a flat front tho it should have nosecone has the proper wings etc for it
mk1mexico Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 Yes it should have one and one comes with it, but im thinking of changing the wings/bonnet etc and making it flat front
bigglesmk2 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Wasnt stating a fact,just my opinion
5hane Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 i would keep it nose cone. especialy if its a propper one
mk2 escy ron Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 i think it should have nose cone. as its real why not keep it real if ya just want a flat front then sell the rs and but a standard flat front. let someone who wants a real rs have the chance to own 1 cor i feel all sentimental
mk1mexico Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 It will still be a real RS though?? Nothing that cant be changed back in the future Think iv made up my mind anyhow, i want it the same colour,flat front, tarmac arched with a two tone blue strip down the bottom of the doors(RS1800 style), or maybe the early broadstripe stripes in black i havent decided yet. Its a hell of a long way away anyway Also thinking gold 8 or 9 inch minilites. I have seen a car exactly like this somewhere but i cant find a pic
