Mark 1 Escort 2 door in Sydney

1972 1300XL. Really good donor shell showing 41,000 miles when I bought it. Originally owned by a lady from Lane Cove, Sydney. Small amount of rust in firewall and lower front guards. Both have been replaced with new metal.
Virtually everything on this car is new or reconditioned. Gave up counting after $10,000 in parts. Has done very few miles since completion. Most parts are new from the grille to the tail light mouldings and the wheel bearings to the hood lining. If it needed doing it got done.
Specs are:
Engine - 1600 Xflow, now 1700 with all good bits. Makes 100HP at wheels, potential for a bit more with some more dyno time. Block, crank, rods, flywheel, rockers and head casting are the only second hand parts in this motor.
Gearbox - Straight cut 2L box, 'rocket' ratio's (2.54 first gear). This is second hand, supposedly rebuilt. Works fine, makes radio useless.
Diff - English banjo housing, 4.125 gears, Ford Motorsport LSD, standard axles.
Suspension - front Capri struts, GAZ inserts, 170Lb springs, vented rotors. Rear 1.5" lowered springs.
Interior has genuine Mexico dash and crash pad, 3 spoke RS wheel. As new heater vents. Original XL interior, all needed doing was a patch panel on drivers seat.
I will supply a full pictorial record of the rebuild for the car. Not too many receipts, I have a shocking filing system (its called the floor).
Full specs given to enquirers. Selling as I want to buy a track car and only room for 1 ride. Don't want to sell but thems the facts of life.
$16,000. If you haven't got it, don't ask theres no negotiating. You will not build one for that money.
Selling unregistered as it is on NSW histirical plates.
