bunglebus Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Also going in the scrap in thread - how can this possibility be anything but a ringing kit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115517616445?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SzOKBDWRSpu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=X5RtjeAxSP-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY FakeConcern and CaptainBoom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 MAN CAVE MEMORABILIA INNIT M9 For £10, maybe. £1,000? No. I do like the seller's optimism, though. "Just needs a little TLC." I'll assume TLC is industry code for 'somebody else's car'. bunglebus and FakeConcern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaGTE85 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 5 more days to run so may sell for more than twice that! Rear windscreen could* be worth saving, along with its 'Hodgsons of Retford' sticker. The rest of this 'ringing kit' is absolutely FUBAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Can't you buy a brand new panelled MK2 shell from China? Theres loads of bits on it anybody doing such a rebuilt would quickly spend a fortune on. Plus it gives you a legit way to a genuine identity for your new shell rather than buying a logbook or having to register on a Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said you could say that about any restoration I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 MST will sell you a new Mk2 shell or even build a full car, built in Wales. There was a lot of kerfuffle amongst the old Fowad community about the Chinese shells being furrin and shit quality, they seemed to choose to ignore that a 40 year old escort shell that wasn't straight when it left the factory and was now like a patchwork quilt after years of abuse/hitting things/being hammered back into shape was hardly going to be in its first flush of youth anyway. timolloyd, purplebargeken and mk2_craig 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Most new shells would be turned into rally cars anyway,so would be seam welded and have a roll cage fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204383146487 Could this be any more blatant? There aren't even any mechanical components that could ostensibly be used for a "reshell". bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 There was somebody selling the ID of a Spridget on a FB group t'other day. One guy pointed it out as a ringing kit and got banned for "being a dick". The seller threatened to sue him for defamation. 😂 bunglebus and Matty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So “reshelling” a period correct identity would seem tempting even if there’s nothing left of that original donor car. But in effect, that’s still ringing so the bloke on that Spridget forum was 100% on the money. Matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a similar way, gun sellers don't expect people to go out and commit murder, sellers of hammers don't expect them.to be used to bludgeon people, and sellers of bleach don't expect it to be used as a weapon. Wait. What do you expect an ID to be used for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
