Unfinished McSorley 442 Project - £195!
Following on from my post some months ago I still have this for sale. I have now moved into my flat and so I dont have enough space (or money!!) to
keep it. It didnt sell last time around because the guy who wanted to buy it ended up in hospital - not my doing - honest!! 
Since collecting the chassis from Nottingham, I have spent a good few days sanding off surface rust and old paint with the intention of then finishing
off the welding and having it re-painted. About 70-80% of the paint & rust removal process is done and some of the tack welds have been ground
back ready to be re-welded.
I have simply copied and reworded much of the old advert as I haven’t done anything else to it since buying it, (the old advert description is in
"speech marks"
”A Mcsorly 442 chassis with an IRS rear end with rose joints and all wishbones front and rear. There are engine mounts for a 2.0L Pinto and a type 9
box. A sierra diff, rear drive shafts and brakes are also included.”
All of this stuff needs a clean up as it has obviously been sitting around for a while.
“A scuttle, boot panel, robin hood nose cone, rear arches and one front arch make up the bodywork so far. The rear arches, scuttle and boot panel need
tlc and all the parts will need painting at some point.”
“A stainless steel fuel tank with sender is included along with a sierra wiring loom and steering column as well as a roll bar (built by MK).”
“To finish the suspension, springs and dampers are required as are cortina uprights.”
”Please note I am not including the pinto, sterring rack or the type 9 box but has all been trial fitted on the mountings as seen in pics.”
The guy I bought it off had obviously spent a long time researching suspension setups and planning how it was to be built etc and I’ll provide
receipts showing the cost of roll bar etc.
I bought it for £195. I spent £66 hiring a van, £100 on fuel and plenty of time grinding paint off! Therefore, I’d like £250 for it (no offers). Still
a steal but at least allows me to recuperate some of my money back which will be spent on grown up stuff like kitchen appliances etc! >>
EDIT: PRICE DROP!! YOU CAN HAVE IT FOR £195 (NO OFFERS) COZ MY BROTHER WANTS HIS GARAGE BACK ASAP FOR HIS NEW TOYS!!
Collection only and P.S. it fits nicely into a long wheel based VW van!

So, let me get this right. You buy for £195, strip the engine, gearbox and steering rack from it and want to sell for £250(no offers) then reduce the
price to £195(no offers)...
?
It wasn't a psychiatric hospital your buyer ended up in was it?
Really I would keep the details to yourself as they do not help your chances of a sale on this site.

Hold up, those bits were never on it when i bought it!! (Just in the pics which are from the original seller)
I'm selling it for what i paid for it despite all the expenses of actually collecting it and removing rust. Its blatantly worth that much!
