I think the time has come...

Might just do that mate ya never know

[tony-mac]

Cheers guys. It is a bit daunting I must admit as I know from reading things on the net that reshells were popular back in the day! The yellow mex on ebay seems a very original car but again - what do I know!

RSRED? Same RSred that owned the black 16i I assume?

Lot`s of re-shells Lee, as long as you know beforehand

It`s not the end of the world

[Lee R]

LOL I guess ya right Tony, I've seen them sell on ebay for good money even when they say blatantly theyre reshelled!

[RETRO]

Hi Lee,check out the 'What have you seen on Ebay etc' (just under the Cars for Sale)There is a very interesting thread on Re-Shells etc under the heading of Mk1 for full restoration.Varied opinions & heated debates

Look at all the 500`s, some owners know and it makes no difference

[Lee R]

hehe! That thread RETRO told me abouts a goodun

[Davecos4x4]

hope you find a nice one Lee.

which are you after most?

[Lee R]

Deep down my ultimate one would be a mk1RS2000 Dave but I dont think I can stretch to one, the Mk2's seem to command less money so will have to see! I'd take a project on as long as it was virtually complete and not stripped so I can strip and photograph where things go as Im not used to these models

[Davecos4x4]

im sure you would do an excellent job on it Lee after seeing the escort 16i project.

they are a piece of **** to work on too, nothing in them.

[Lee R]

They do look quite simple Dave I must admit

[tony-mac]

Come on Lee, this has got to be worth a view, it`s known on here

Belonged to someone on here I think? If I had a garage big enough, this would be one I would consider. Not daft money so you wouldn't be afraid to use it properly.

I've heard a little whisper he's bought one..
