Hi all, to be honest im only half tempted to sell my Escort due to it never leaving the garage.  I have hardly driven it in the last year or so. Some of you would know the car and know that its been done to a high standard. It was a feature car in Fast Fours magazine in Jan last year.
Some quick specs,
 1975 (pre-pollution) 2 door Mk2 full baremetal respray 2 1/2 years ago in custom bluey/green with PPG prismatech special effects paint.
Every rubber was replaced at the same time, All bumpers, door handles, window surrounds etc 2 packed black. Angel eye headlights, qtr bumpers.
 
Front grp4 bilstein Complete coilover struts, Kmac 22mm swaybar, anti dive kit, all new bushes throughout, Ebay big brake kit (5 stud).
Rear Koni adjustable shocks with King leaves, Falcon 28spline diff cut down with fully rebuilt 4 pinion LSD 4.11 gears. Falcon discs on rear.
 
2 litre pinto with twin 45mm webbers, pace maker extractors (jet hot coated) built engine with forged pistons, shot peened and lightened rods etc, big valve head, have a cd of pics of engine been built, sheet metal rocker cover, PWR radiator with twin Spal fans, Electronic dizzy, everyhose is proper braided except the bottom radiator hose (over $800 in hose + fittings alone) polished catch can with -10 speedflow lines. Sierra 5 speed with excedy Heavy duty clutch.
 
Complete retrimmed interior including Rs Scheels and dash cluster, carpet , also headlining etc. 3 autometer guages mounted where the ash tray should be. Battery in boot, complete boot fitout including custom airbrushed mural of burning $100 notes.
 
Weld pro star mags 15x7 rear tyres are toyo r888. Cant remember off the top of my head what the fronts are.
 
Im sure theres heaps of stuff I cant think of and I highly recommend anyone interested to get in contact and come for a look. I also have a full cosworth conversion for an escort which I wont be parting with so if the car doesnt sell it will finally go into it. after building it for 2 or so years and putting big money into it. Wont be letting it go for nothing, so if you dont have suffient funds please dont waste my time or yours. $18000ono thanks Kieran 0401 911 248

Cheers for the pics mate. Yeah its been on my mind for ages. Dont want to sell it but it never leaves the garage and the money would be used in much better places then just sitting there. If it doesnt sell ill pull the motor/box and put my cosworth gear in it. If it does sell my cosworth will go in Nigels old Mk1 which is also a very nice base for a project tucked away in the cnr of the shed at my parents place. Cheers

Hi Everyone sorry bout the really late reply. Been very slack. I have decided I just cant bring myself to part with it. Ill be doing the cosworth conversion sometime this year and the pinto will be going into dads mk1 (nigels old car) for now but in the near future will also be replaced with a cossie.
