Advertising on behalf of a customer this 1979 Ford Escort RS2000. Its an unfinished project, but the work thats been done so far is of a very high standard and it will make a stunner. Its a genuine car which started life black but is now Salmon Pink or Signal Red 80 to be technically correct. All the body and paintwork has been done but the car needs finishing. We have the V5 but not a lot of history. Car had been stored for many years and was last taxed in 1988.

Bodywork.

Shell has been completely restored and is rock solid. Panel gaps are really good especially round the nosecone. Paintwork is superb. Will still need the sidestripe applied. Underneath is finished in Dove Grey with the overspray on outer floors. No patching or visible welds. I see lots of these cars and seriously considered keeping this and finishing it as it will make an absolute cracker. Headlights will need refurbed or replaced. Chassis number visible on strut top.

Mechanics.

Engine was checked over and bottom end was found to be sound. Cylinder head was overhauled. Has not been run since and will still need piped and wired up. 4 speed gearbox fitted. What you see with the car and in the boot is what comes with it. We do also have an exhaust which is useable but personally I would buy a new one.

Interior.

Original seats which are useable but could do with being refurbed. Correct clocks, dashpod and doorcards. Dash untested. Good headlining.

Wheels.

Set Of polished Alloys but not a matching date set. Good tyres.

Our thoughts.

Bit of work still to do but will make a superb example.You are welcome to come and see the car and we have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. Please ask for a delivery quote or contact us with any questions. Thanks for looking.
