Mk2 Escort 2Dr 2lt - Adelaide

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

    Ford Escort Mk2 1979
    Mint Glaze Metallic Paint
    Factory 1.6 lt body but converted to 2lt motor, with new radiator support welded in, 2lt struts fitted. Registered as a 2lt with Transport SA
    Motor is essentially std with a mild MoRod cam and new Felpro head gasket.

    Issues:
    Has had a respray in the past and now paint is starting to flake in some sections.
    Paint on roof is faded.
    Requires some rust removal and repaint to bring back to former glory.
    Sump has had a couple of knocks around the plug which has a drip, new washers don't seem to fix it.

    Hi Fly,
     
    Yes still have it, won't be ready for 3-4weeks. Yes will be road going and drivable when it is sold.
     
    I will update once I've swapped the motor and its ready to go, just seeing if there's any interest at this point.
     
    Thanks.
    Rhys

    I have just put 3months registration on the car and swapped the wheels over. 
    Tires have 95% tread.
