Old Escort Flight - Worth Repair?

[phykell]

Hi,

I have a 2001 x-reg Escort Flight 1.6 petrol in black with around 80k on the clock so nothing special I guess. It had good tyres and was in great condition when it was last used but that was around ten years ago and there is now some rust on the rear wheel arches and a bit of a hole in the boot area. I don’t need the car for myself and it’s just in the way now. Several people have expressed an interest in it for whatever reason (robably scrap) but should I scrap it or would it be worth selling to someone for either parts or to at least get it back on the road?

Thanks :)

If you're not doing the welding yourself probably not worth it.I don't think scrap prices are that good at the moment,so might be worth spending time removing anything in good condition,if you can be bothered/have the time.

you could try it on gumtree to see what you can get. a lot down to - does the engine start? can it be driven OK eg. clutch and brakes work as they should.  I realise it won't be MOT'd/taxed of course.
