Problem is (not to be the prophet of doom), where on earth are you going to get a clean shell from?

The shells are seem to be going for quite a bit of money.....

That would be plan 'c' on my list. Once Jason is available to dig it out, and I can get over there, I'll see if it's the route I want to go down. ;)

Its a pity the rust has got a hold,i had an XR3i years ago and that rotted out in the same place and i sold it to somebody who intended to restore it . I think its a tough choice to sell it or restore it because they getting rarer to find , and old Escorts are starting to make decent money . Pete:Chevy_anim:
