Midnight Blue 4 door RS2000 (Melbourne)

1980 Escort RS2000 4dr - Midnight Blue (C code - factory quite rare colour) and has been fitted with a 5sp Sierra gearbox that was fully recoed($1000) not long before the car came off everyday duties about 2 years ago.  Has been on Victorian CH plates since then.  Engine was recoed by me a few years before that and runs beautifully.  Reco'ed head has a mild cam (to suit the gas research it is on), but is basically just a little more than a standard cam (from my understanding) with new valves and gas inserts (even harder than unleaded ones) done at that time.  Basically mechanically the car is EC.  The suspension is also pretty good too, although basically stock. Has nolathane bushes all around, with HD rear springs and (I think) Pedders front springs with some older Munroe GT's all round.  It currently sits on some 4 spoke dragways, but I have a choice of mags if the buyer doesn't particularly like these... The body is an original 4dr RS2000 Midnight Blue manual car.  It has some recovered Scheel front seats in it with all the correct RS Beta cloth trim etc.  The body should really be repainted as it is faded and the old clearcoat peeling in some places.  There are a few (minor) rust spots as to be expected from an Escort of this age.  The rear arches are showing signs of rust coming back (having been cut out and welded up about 8 years ago) and the heater bubble also has some rust.  The C pillars also have sign of a little rust behind, but that is about it.  The car is currently on Gas Research (an therefore very cheap to run), but will be reconverted back to petrol for the buyer (unless they want the gas...)  The car is fully driveable and does club runs every now and again, but it really is surplus to requirements and deserves a good home with someone who will restore it.  I even have 4lt of Midnight Blue paint to go with it and could provide spares (Have 1 oher midnight blue 4dr RS as spares + significant other Escort parts (understatement!). I am looking for $4,500 for the car and can deliver (within reason!).
 
Possibly happy to supply as a semi complete rolling shell for around $2k minus Mechanicals, Scheels, mags, gas system  RS dash etc... Price will depend upon what you want.. Or can supply spares on top of car as well.... Happy to discuss the options (but if splitting it, the shell must go before the other bits - ie Scheels!) Or for the complete car can drop $500 for no Scheels, drop $500 if you want a standard 4 sp Cortina box in it instead of the 5speed.... There are options... Prefer to see it go complete to someone who is going to give it some love and attention...
