Escort Cosworth.........How much? seriously!!!!!!!!!!

[boxxer1973]

Hard to value these cars its a old saying but "they are only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them" I think these dealers know that they have to sit on these cars for a long time before they get any interest or they are selling on a commission basis. That red car if you believe what you read on other forums has a bit of a chequered history, having been stolen once.

Here's a couple of good websites for you guys who like their older cars  www.4starclassics.com   and    www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk

My escort was no where near these prices, but I can't help wondering when it is eventually finished what it will actually owe me?? At least its a joint project with a mate of mine so we are sharing the many bills!!

Trouble is us older guys who can't except the passage of time still love these cars but can't or won't except that these cars are nearly 20 years old now and still hanker after cars of their youth.

Nice car mate ^ what's left to finish off the project?

Still to do.....

1.) re-commission the air con system (fingers crossed not to much wrong)
2.) replace front and rear diff's with uprated ones
3.) replace rear beam with 6 degree rear beam for better handling and tyre wear
4.) re-bush rear end
5.) braided brake hoses all round
6.) refurbish alloys in a nice grey
7.) replace gearbox with uprated item (hopefully next year...)
8.) few small dents to be removed (very last thing on the list, just in case anymore happen along the way!)

Bound to be a few other jobs along the way, uprated parts are easy to get its certain other parts that are near on impossible to get.

Thanks for that
I would have bit your hand of for that a few months ago, but already been down the rebuild route earlier this year.
