That appeals in a silly sense.

A good paint job and sort the interior out would be interesting.

No I don't want it but it is much better than the Escrap

Re the escort ad :-

HERE IS MY FORD ESCORT ESTATE.

I PUT HER IN THE GARAGE 11 MONTHS AGO TO DO SOME SLIGHT BODY WORK TO HER AND GOT CARRIED AWAY. [size=14]u don't say!![/size][/b][/color]
SHE NOW HAS NO DOOR HANDLES (apart from drivers door)
SHE HAS NO DOOR LOCKS (apart from drivers door)
[size=14]hmmm are we talking about the girlfriend??!![/size][/b][/color]ALL DOORS AND THE TAILGATE CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE,  IVE GOT THE 2 WOLFRACE FRONT WHEELS TO MATCH THE REAR ONES BUT THEY HAVE NO TYRES ON THEM, [color=#ff0000[size=14]]so not exactly going to be a 'smooth' ride!![/size] [/color]REAR WHEELS 14 BY 7  FRONT WHEELS 13 BY 6.

AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICS SHE HAS CHROME SIDE PIPES THAT ARE BOTH CONNECTED.  I HAVE ALL THE LEGAL TINT FOR THE GLASS ALONG WITH A FEW EXTRA CHROME BITS AND BOBS THAT IVE BROUGHT TO FIT ON HER.

SHE IS STILL A 1600 16V, SO IS STILL CHEAP TO INSURE, SHE IS A LOOKER NOT A PERFORMER. [color=#ff0000[size=14]]think u should have gone to Specsavers!![/size][/color]95% OF THE BOBY WORK IS NOW COMPLETE AND WITH ABOUT A WEEK SPENT ON HER SHE WOULD BE READY TO  USE.

I HAVE SOME MORE PRIMMER FOR HER JUST TO FINISH HER OFF READY FOR PAINT.

And all this for a 'bargain' price of £1250 ........ hey watch out there are men in white coats knocking on your front door!!  :o :o :D :D

ffs - primmer is a colour :y  Its very similar to grey primer but spelt differently.
