(VIC) Ford Escort MK1 project, lots of rare parts

1971 Ford Escort 2 door project, i have owned this car or the most of it for 10 years plus, i have spend well over $15k on parts, there is a compete car plus some, including 2.3 turbo pinto form a 1979 Mustang SVO(factory turbo), rebuilt turbo(MTQ) with ceramic coating, head work by Ivan Tighe and others in QLD, ported cleaned, geometry setup, new cam, rocker, the lot(this cost me well over $2500 to get it right) a 2.3 NA from the same model car, both import engines for the USA, a type 5 speed with rose jointed race shifter, all new bumperettes and rear bumper(both genuine), twin cam dash(restored and mint) with genuine twin cam top, vacuum wrapped to be as new, rally seam welded x-member to suit the taller block(not a cheap homemade one), brand new rebuilt interior, all rare red colour with tombstone flip forward lowback seats, door trim are original and mint condition, covered aftermarket copy parcel shelf and kick panels, 13x7 Mexico steel rims x 5(rare as hell), all new badges(genuine), all new lights and buckets(genuine), all new dash switches inc stalk, dished rally steering wheel and boss(new), twincam timber dash inserts, GT style mirrors, a ton of cash spent as Esslinger to get the timing gear and crank trigger setup

If sold at the asking price comes with the RTV diff i have listed.

Basically i could type a book about it, pics in the link below, ask any questions, car is currently stripped for paint, ready for custom colour!

    Wow, always wondered if you'd finish this one off.
    Be sad to see it go, hope you get a deserving buyer.

    I'd love the interior back!!!

    Have you any other spares?

    Ive got tons of parts Shaun, double of most bits
     
    The interior is all new now, see the pics?
     
    Ive thrown a ton of cash at this, but with my family now, i cant see it progressing much over the next 10 years, if found a car i want(not a escort sadly), and one day i hope to buy someone's already built car
     
    Id like to see this go to a good home, it deserves a good life!

    Matt,
     
    Have you got a list of spares or is it a package deal?
     
    Thanks, Shaun

    I dont have a complete list of the top of my head, i hope to put everything out on the driveway(i have a very large driveway) and take pics and make a list in the next few weeks, its going to take quite some work, and then ill load all the parts into the car minus the interior ready for sale
     
    Id rather sell it as a complete package, but could seperate one of the engines and the Dana/Spicer M86 locker diff
