I've been looking for one of these for a LONG time :D

Thanks!

I had to sell a mk2 mexico to buy a house about 2 years ago, part of my heart has been missing, while not owning one of these great cars :D

Erm

Rs2000 running gear (2 litre pinto, 5 speed type 9 box, spax shocks, capri vented front disks.)

Not sure on the axle.

No sunroof. Very good shell, needs two new wings though. But that not uncommon.

Its got 11 months MOT. Free tax.

Im going to enjoy it for the summer, then do the wings over the winter.

It's taken me about 3 months to track down a good one again. Lopez helped me out with information, when I was younger on an orange mk2 escort, he might remember it.

(just looking at the car in your sig)

I used to have a mint mk2 XR2 (40k miles from new) and I saw a really nice one today in a petrol station.

I've had to wait ages and AGES to save up for this. (about 2 years now). You'll get there if you really want it :D

Loving driving it - everyone looks at it :D!

Mind you , even on tickover, the shell does rock about a lot, brum brum.

No, its not an AVO. just an 1100 with a 2000cc and 5 speed type9, rs2000 carb.

If you want a standard rs2000 avo, you're looking at nearly 8k now in this condition.

I'm not paying that!!!
 
yeh its not bad

enjoying it for the summer is the plan, try not to wrap it around a tree.

then in the winter its getting two new wings and a change of colour.

Jon!
 
I've had two mk2 escorts before this, one left the road in the wet, was reubilt by me then sold.

This ones for dry use only!

Its running spax shocks on the back and capri legs on the front.

handles okay but I understand your points about 4 linking etc. Expensive though!

only expensive if you can't weld.
even if you can't you probably know someone that can.
price up the parts mate, it's not as pricey as you think.

and i'll only say this once...but... BRENDA'S NEED BILSTEINS, AND BILSTEINS ONLY!!!

I 5 linked my last mk2, its quite expensive.

I wont bother with this one.
 
I'm great at blowing holes in stuff, its great fun ! :D

I cant weld though your right!!! Not very well anyway!

I'm going to enjoy the car (if we ever get any decent weather!) a quick shift is next on the shopping list for meee :D

then two new wing and a front panel if I can find some cheap steel ones.

Jon!
 
I'm going to enjoy it for the time being!!!

Then the plan is twin 48's, straight cut box, welded diff and 9" deep dish RS allys :D.
