Sad sad day it's gone

rstoughy · 22-01-2011, 12:09 AM

well after 16yrs of continuous ownership I have sold my last Cosworth.
Feels a little strange as they have been such a big part of my life (and wallet) for so long.
Onwards and upwards though.

oh, anyone know of a white 3 door for sale

Got to move on sometime Paul, or not maybe by the sounds of it!! Lol

I see Colins (old?) Moonstone shell is up for sale as well at the minute isn't it?

rstoughy · 22-01-2011, 09:16 AM

Where's it up for sale Dan?

Moving on...hmmmm. Was all sorted when it sold and quite happy then following it along the road last night started thinking WTF have i done

Think i will probably go get something like a Focus RS for a while once my Audi sells then have a re-think.
Still want another MK2 Escort but supersonic prices have pushed me out of that game

Cossies....aghhhhhhhh

Alex,
Got some odds and ends.

Off the top of my head,

Full set of polly bushes (unused)
brand new OEM front / side indicators
Brand new in packaging heat sheild
Original 3 door header tank (un cracked)
Matt Black single bar strut brace (trial fitted only)
Genuine Ford RS500 front splitter
Genuine Ford RS500 front Grills
Fancy Engine (fresh rebuild)
L8 ECU with MSD Anti-lag, launch control, Wasted spark, Air injector boost control etc etc
Brand new DEFI boost & oil press with Control unit.

Have boxes and boxes of stuff in the loft so will need to have a look at what i have.
Thats just the 3 door stuff, i've also got a stockpile of Saff and Escos bits i collected over the years

Not sure what i'm going to sell on as there is a strong possibillity i will buy another but at the moment the engine, ECU and splitter are advertised.

Pistonheads I think Paul, it is only a shell (maybe with running gear) but I'm sure it's his old/current one...

I remember the day I sold my Mercury 2WD Saph, I went straight indoors and looked at Saph's again on Pistonheads!

Within a week I'd put a deposit on my Escos, then I sold the Series 1 within the next fortnight and the day that went (on a Saturday) the very next day I went to pick up the Escos and pay the balance!

I still would love a 2WD Magenta Saph on Diamond Cut RS7's!

Thought your name rang a bell from Passionford.I was on there as Allsteel.I was sad too when my 575 brake Escos went away.

Wait till you see an rs500 for sale bet you resist it. If someone done me a good deal wouldn't take much to part with csl for escort cossie.
