Just bought my Ford Escort MK 2!!!!

Well after a frustrating time looking for one i found a banged up old ford on ebay

It did not sell at the auction so I e mailed the chap and he is going to strip all the parts out of the car and give them to me all for £200 i am thrilled.

Before I send him the list is there any thing that I should ask him to take out that the book dose not mention?

Here are a few pics. Rescued attachment 72_1_b.jpg

Sounds like everything to me!

The bloke will only have a shell left after that lot! You might not need some of it if you are building a racer. And there are something i would replace as a matter of course, (such as hoses and cables)
