Hey guys, in keeping with the spirit of things, i thought i'de post a few pics of my eskimort.

This is the second escort i've owned, the last was a blue 4 door that i decided to get rid of after a strut practially broke in half while going over a railway crossing, damaging most of the drivers side front.
Anyways, this one's a 1980 2-door auto GL. I found her parked by the side of the road, me being me, i can't help slowing down n taking a looksie when i see an escort. The thing that really got my attention on this one was there was no drivers seat(was sparco-was stolen) and and the exhaust was chocked full of cobwebs. I pulled over and had a look at the rego - about 3 months expired, so i knocked on the door and asked the owner(champion) if he would consider selling it.
I got her and everything pictured on it for $500. I was originally planning on an sr20det conversion BUT... i decided to go back and give engineering another go at the start of this year so will be on a very limited budget for a fairly long time. I'll probably just hunt ebay for single or double weber 45's and do the full engine conversion in a few years.
The car runs fine, so my main goal at the moment is finishing the panelwork and getting registered. I just wanna drive an escort again.

Hi Kevin,

Looks like a decent find for $500. A bit of work needed here and there but should scrub up OK when finished. Front struts are nice. Any other mods done to the car?

All the bushes were eurathane, the swaybar and shocks had been replaced, don't know what spec but they're fatter than the stock ones. 2.25exhaust+extractors. I think the cam has been upgraded as i found 3 in the boot, haven't looked yet tho. Everything else is stock. Brakes are @#$%, just like i remember

As the other have said looks like a top buy considering the suspension in it.
Amamzing what you find if you have a better look, you could have just kept driving
