MK2 Escort 1980 Barn Find Original Paint Project Rally Parts Race Drift

Hi Here we have an original paint (Riviera Blue) original front wings, original strut tops, two door UK right hand drive Escort with lots of hard to find RS rally parts. Original Dealer number plates from Perry's of Harrow Weald.  German built GCAT body shell.  Barn stored for 20 years this weekend was the first time it's seen daylight in all that time.  This car has never been rallied. The 6 point roll cage is in the car but the floors have never been plated or drilled for the mounting points.  The head lining is intact with no rips.  The front and rear wheel arches on the passenger side have been replaced along with a couple of small localised areas of sill that have been flush fit repaired.  The drivers side still needs the same things doing.  I liked the idea of retaining the original front wings which are in remarkable condition except for the wheel arch, however I will supply an arch cut from a brand new wing ready for repair.There are bits of the car which will require welding here and there but nothing disasters us and the car has not been covered in previous bodged patches.  The crucial strength areas like the inner and outer “A” pillars are in exceptional  condition along with the bulk head, inner wings, strut tops and floors.  The boot and boot wells are also very good.The parts included are listed below:The car is basically missing an engine, bell housing and radiator.Externally there are genuine quarter bumpers, rubber boot spoiler and an RS2000 remote adjustable door mirror.Interior has nice black dash top with no cracks, three spoke RS2000 steering wheel, bolt in roll cage with door bars, RS Turbo Recaro Seats (Drivers bolster holed, otherwise good), hydraulic hand brake  and a brake bias valve.Mechanically, the front suspension is group 4 wedged Bilsteins with rose jointed top mounts, World Cup cross member with pinto or cross flow engine mounts, double width kit, anti dive kit, group 4 steering joint, vented discs with princess 4 pot brake calipers, Goodrich hoses, polly bushes, filter king pressure regulator.  The rear has a 3.54 diff, Bilsteins, de cambered  leaf springs, rear disc brake conversion, RS 2000 prop shaft and a type 9   5 speed gearbox.In summary this is a great project for someone to get on with over winter and end up with a stunning and very valuable car, or maybe it could be a opportunity for a specialist breaker to get a good body shell to sell on and a lot of valuable parts to sell on separately.Either way after 20 years of ownership and many other cars built while this one has sat quietly in th3 corner of the barn, it is time to free up some space to dry store other things.Thanks for looking Oh seven eight six seven nine seven five oh six eight
