Do you want anything?
Since there's a few cars in the reassembly stage (my own neraly as well), I thought i'd start a post to see if anyone needed a specific item.
Feel free to list up a reminder of you are always on the lookout for or still need but are trying to avoid getting from o/s or having to make.
Myself, I'd like to find some 2 up/2 down spotlight mounts, and some std front bumper irons, both mk2.

Good call Deano.
I only hoard bits specific bits for my car nowadays but I do have a couple of boxes of odds and sods that I can part with.
I still keep an eye out for anything Escort and Cortina related so happy to grab things for people if I see them. Will be visiting a few regional centres with work in the coming months and always have an ask around while I'm on the properties or in town.

Great thread to keep running Deano. Like Drew and all of us, I have so much stuff from past builds etc I often can't remember and have learnt to go searching to save buying something I already have  Can't help you on either of your search items sorry.

I'm after good L/R tail light lenses, mine have some minor cracks that annoy me. Also after a left tail light housing. I have the genuine ford article on the right but a remanufactured one on the left.
Apart from that everything else is either an aftermarket upgrade or I already have it.

On the current build I bought the left and right, complete units from Yesterford. Good quality and fitted well. I'm really not sure these days what is good value?
On that note, with your RS rebuild Mark, checkout the Yesterford price for a booster. WOW. I'm sure this is not good value!

There are some prices from there that are good and others have you scratching your head, Mike is on my doorstep though so I am very lucky to have that available to me so I like to support him where I can.

Now you know what they look like, make a set !
It's handy you can walk to the corner Ford store and choose what you want with your burger on your lunch break. I've seen Escort MCs for well over $500 , mad! , going back to Rock Auto and looking for Capri MC might be a good option, though somewhere in the 80s their Capri became a Mustang Fox body in disguise I believe..

Might have a couple of old lamps with the chrome surrounds. Let me know if you want me to search. Note, a search party may have to be sent in to find me

Thanks MarkA, only require the chrome surrounds but if the lamps are part of the kit I'll accept them too.
I bought a good set from UK but no chromes...

Mark I think I found a Mk2 rear tailiight lense on the weekend while looking for something else.
I'm pretty sure it would be a new repro, and more likely a pair from Burtons.
The 4 door I had went with the original Altisimo's on it, so they would have been left over.
Let me check and see if they might be any good for you.

In your confusion I want Capri reverse chrome surrounds , but if you want to offload the MK2 rear lenses I could grab them for the rally pack. Also a left rear light housing as the car was stoved in on that corner, wait, it was stoved in on every corner but really could go the lenses if selling..
I'll attempt to scan and print the good side housing and mirror it. Something I need to do with mk1 escort indicator housing unless I find one in my vast stash of parts

Marty, found these (a pair) Way too good to use just for the surrounds but I'll leave it to you with the direction you want to go.

Confusion? na, all good.
Marty was after chrome reverse surrounds, and Mark , MK2 stop/indicattor lenses.
But happy to list up what ive got soon as stuff goes back on and the boxes get emptied.
Funny how you end up with multiples of the same stuff: steering wheels, seatbelts, MK2 steel centrecaps and windscreen grilles seem to be multiplying. Less so, sill trims, gearnobs and centre consoles.
