Hi I might be interested but would need to find out how much a local garage to you would charge to finish the headgasket job as it would cost a fortune for me to come down and do it or have it trailored to me.

How much did you want for the silver one?

Many thanks Andy

after the first post i hade the head skimed bought new head set timing chaine plunger to do the job.but a low life nicked the head.probebley £3-4 ase scrap .so i have lost intrest.moved on to a explorer had to be a ford.seams a shame to just send them on as scrap when the silver one is still a nice car.bouth have loads of hard to find-expensif bits on them.spiks looking fore £200 fore a face lift front bumper and i bet that will not include head light washers-fog lights-indecaters.with a bit of work you could make 1 good car out of 2 and have loads of spares left,

I think you suffer from the same problem as i do, just in the wrong part of the country, too far from most people.

i bet if you'd had them in Birmingham they'd be long gone

I would have loved to try and put them both back on the road but it would cost a fortune to get them up to me and probably a couple of days. I also have the problem of nowhere to park them, no spare time and not enough cash to move them lol.

I wish I could find somewhere to rent with plenty of space to park cars and work on them. It breaks my heart to see so many scorpio's being scrapped even if parts are taken off 1st as they are such a good car when running right.

Are the rear shocks and springs any good ?

Not that I'm desperate now mine has passed it's MOT today, but maybe a good idea to keep them for someone who may need them as they are a rare item now.
