Well, I think it's time I hung up my Corsa, had it over a year now and want something with a bit more Go!
Dont want to do a 2.0 conversion, due to the fact that it wont be easy to sell.
Had a look and a test drive of an Escort GTi today, 1.8 16v, 3dr, Red, half leathers, quick as can be, knackered clutch tho. Just need to find a nice one, would possibly consider an RS2000 or RS Turbo tho.
Anyone wanna buy my corsa?!!!!! (U2U for more details)

3000-4000 ish, looking at R-S reg GTi's, P reg RS2000 or a '90 spec Red or Mercury Grey RS Turbo, fancying an RST a lot, but has to be '90 spec!
GTi was very nice tho, other than the clutch. The test drive plate flew off the dash and hit Sam, with the G's when I pulled off

Esscort cosworth only shares the door mirrors, lights etc.. with a true essex effort. they are based on a cut down sierra floor pan and the panels are special made in germany smoewhere, so it's RS2000 is thr top of the escort tree, cossy is another level.
