2lt_Scort
Hi All,
 
I picked up a new Escort yesterday which means another one has to go. 
 
Please see link - http://www.classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20250
I have owned it for around 3.5years, purchased from an very old lady with its original 1600 motor. Since buying it as link shows I've upgraded a few things as I was using it as a daily for a while but the car hasn't been driven since Small Ford Day in February this year.
The car will need to be sold for space and practicality reasons but at this stage looking for Expressions of any interest in it to work out best way to find it a new home - I'm probably going to take the motor out and swap back to small cammed 2lt or could even put the original 1600 back in.
 
It quite a tidy shell but rust is starting in some areas , Heater Plenum, A-Pillar, and Bottom corner of rear window (will get pics for serious enquiries) and paint is starting to flake in some areas. Ideally it needs to have these areas fixed and a respray  to be back to its glory days.
 
I'll upload pics and more in-depth specs in the near future as I find them or take more. 
 
Price wise I'm not giving it away, would depend on what new owners wants motor wise - if one at all? Maybe you already have something to slot in?
 

 
Thanks,
Rhys

G'Day Scott,
 
Thanks mate.
 
Picked up an old track car with alot of the things I wanted to do to my blue already done. It needs a fair bit of work still, but it means I can make the Blue one a road car again
