Grizzley Dell Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 anybody know where i can get seals for these windows, prefer new but good seconds will do?
Savvi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 I think we are looking for similar bits !!! I done a lot of home work on estates and vans for parts for mine !!!! This guy is breaking one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/escort-mk1-estate ... 3efbed576a
Grizzley Dell Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 yeah i saw them but did you see where he is. bloody long way from me. its annoying realy cause you can buy them new for the sallons. ive got new rubbers alround except them. arrrgh. what else are you after as ive got a few estate spares.
Savvi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 TBH i'm not sure yet, i have most of the parts for my orange one but would like some better interior for the boot although what i have got is ok. I ended up buying a blue Maltese one which i was going to remove the Toyota Turbo Diesel engine and fit it in my van, however i'm tempted to run it as is as a runaround and fit Zetec in my van, but if i do decide to use my blue estate i will needs some parts for it, the tailgate around the lock has been plated and is the catch.
Grizzley Dell Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 get in touch with darran at escort tec. he had 3 estates last week. they scrap loads of eckies. good bloke and not to dear. i can pm you his number if you need it.
Savvi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 I have spoken to darren and thought about going to see them when i know what i need, not sure how far away he is from me. I think the orange one will be sold when on the road as i have managed to collect to many ( 2x estates, 1 x mk1 van and 1x Nimbus camper) think by middle of the year i might have only 1 or 2 of them.
Grizzley Dell Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 he's near crawley, i was there other day. ive got kj old nimbus & the estate, also 6 other motors & probably 20 bikes. gets to much. whats your nimbus like? anygood?
Savvi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Nimbus is very good for it's age etc. Both front wings were damaged in storage (7 years) needs a sill and front panel for Mot, i did the brakes and got it running everything works and it's complete with everything in the back. Needs seat re trimming and a carpet then just a good clean, i had already stripped the estate and didn't want to start this until that's back togeather.
Grizzley Dell Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 their so damn cute them nimbus's, im gonna use mine as a daily hack and hopefully weekends at pod etc, if i can persuade the mrs to drive it there.
Savvi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 My kids want me to keep "Pod" and they've told their Mum she WILL drive it !!!! It the cheapest Mk1 i've bought for many years, so should cost less than a grand when done. I've had 2 others in the past but should keep this one.
livewire7116 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 why dont you try a company called C O Baines, they make profiles of rubber and you can buy it by the mtr plus they are very helpful, its good quality rubber to
