From the seller: “Good base for a project, current v5 and keys present , the bones of the car aren’t bad , roof and quarter panels are good , as are the A-posts and door shuts , bonnet is good , drivers door will go again , all glass is present , no engine or gearbox etc, will def need wings , front panel , rear panel , passenger door, and plenty of other repairs around the car, but all panels are readily available for these cars now , so could be a cheap way into a 2-dr mk1 escort for somebody , definitely a good starting point , I’d rather buy one like this where you can see everything it needs rather than spending thousands more on a painted one that could be hiding allsorts.”
