Hello all

Firstly i have been on this site of a few months now and everyday i go on the projects section with out fail, every dinner time. OMG some of the cars on here are just amazing a really insperation!!!!!!

My dad has owned many many escorts (http://www.mda-motorsport.co.uk/ourhistory.html) and i have been a massive escort fan in heart but i have mostly owned late escorts and work on alot of them.

Right to the point

I rally a sapphire cosworth - Pics (http://www.mda-motorsport.co.uk/projectcars.html) and i am building an escort maxi kit car atm.

I want to sell the sapp in a few months and buy a mk2 escort flat front. Whats the going price on these. I am after any model just a flat front and i will doing some serious work to it. I would like a project sombody dont wanna finsh but not a complete ROT BOX

What would i be looking at?

Cheers all Mat :D

Agree with Gaz, buy the best shell you can and save all the hassle , 3k+ for any 2 door easy, got one in my garage from Escort Tec, lovely and just ready for the chop :D
