Gaz Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 More rust i found in the top of the guard by the bonnet hinge. Bugger! Thats the worst place to get rust in escorts. So hard to get rid of as they not bolt on guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escort mk1 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yea i was just talking to one of my old friends from school about my escort and she said her dad had a escort in his shed. so i went around and had a look, then told dad. The guy said 3 grand and dad offered him 2500 cash and he took it. its in bloody good nick too, no rust just a few minor dents but the interior is pretty rough.
