Mine had a bit of rot here Gareth under the door rubber
Fortunately it was only one very small area and it is now sorted
Other areas you can see are the battery tray, sill lips etc, anything else you'll need to buy the car to check as it will be behind bumpers, skirts etc
You can check the towing eye by removing the little plastic plug thing, also you can kinda see behind the rear bumper.
Just take your time looking round it and don't assume because low milage it will be fine
Pretty sure original tyres were Perelli but I may be wrong
I'm sure some of the other more knowledgeable guys can advise you better than me
Here's where mine wentLast edited by stinky; 23-01-2015, 16:20:04.1995 Escort RS Cosworth (Gone but not forgotten)
