New Cossie owner

[Heisenberg]

Hello, I have just inherited a 95 imperial blue escort Cossie from my dad. It's been holed up in his garage since mid 2010 and doesn't run at the moment.
He took it off the road due to a fuel leak it had then went mental pulling it to bits and buying a shit load of new bits for it then during the long reassembly process he had a stroke and never touched it again.
I now have the task of trying to finish getting it back together and get it into a garage to hopefully get it going again

Hello, what a car to inherit! Have you done a list of what recommissioning you know is required and any pics of the state it is in?

[Dan Le Moignan]

Good luck with it.
Be good to see some pictures

Wow. Not the best of circumstances. You will find lots of help here. All you need do is ask.
Best wishes,
Boyd

Thanks for the replies. The biggest problem I actually have is iv no garage to keep it in so its on the driveway just now in full view of anyone driving past. It's making me nervous but I'm hoping the mechanic I usually go to will take it into his workshop and get to work on it. He's into old ford's so I'm sure he will jump at the chance. But unless I can find somewhere to store it it will be going up for sale sadly

If it’s for sale I be interested

Get that car off your drive and into storage before someone takes it from you, which they will!

Good luck getting it sorted, where abouts are you, I’m sure they’ll be someone localish who can recommend where to take it.

Well my stint as a Cossie owner was a brief 1, car is sold and was collected this morning.
