SebringRS Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 Yeah, as said, before and after. I do love them, i remember a mk3 tina on ebay ages ago, just been pulled outta a barn, was all dusty, look a right heap, the gave gave it a quick clean, and under all the dirt, it was spotless
tom28 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 cumon then spill, bargain or no bargain?
Admin Mk2Jo Posted September 13, 2010 Admin Report Posted September 13, 2010 You are sooooo greedy with all the cars you have Whack them pics up then
dacar Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 This sounds good, can't wait to see the pics. Theres a guy who lives about half a mile from me has a red RS2000 Mk2 in his garage and has had it since new. Its falling apart now. I went down with mine to see it but he wouldn't even leave his house to talk, he sent his wife out to get rid of me. He's an older man and has no interest but won't entertain any enquiry about it. Sad or what.
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 well i cant get pics up yet as im only on osf via my mobile!!! I promise i will add pics of it as it is and also when it is clean! I cant sleep untill its collected!! My dad is just the same too!!!
shaun1.6ghia Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 i kno of many of these famous guys that hide osf's. there was 2 mk3 cortinas jus a short drive from mine an the guy wouldn't sell them to anybody... after all that saw it dragged out this morning another has a mk1 cortina estate..... another has a mint mk1 rs2000 absolutely full of rs bits and everything still on it too.. remarcably its outside.. must be the only (and tinyest) part of england that doesn't rain... the guys all have no ambition of restoring them or putting them back on the road, just willing to let them rot

They would rather let them rot away than risk somone possibly making a tenner!!
