Recommended Posts

Well i bought this after realising my old 3 door base model Sierra was too much for me to repair and im an escort fan anyway so here we go,bought from ebay about 1 and a half years ago for £500  with a load of parts i never needed which some have been sold to buy the parts i wanted lol

Its a mk3 someone had turned into a mk4 then back to a mk3 again
