is it worth keeping? leaks again!
« on: 15 May 2007, 11:39 »
Hi i have been battling against leaks all the time since owning this car, it is my daily driver and i have already sorted the usual problems. I have also had leaks through the seams in the passenger chassis leg and now to top it all off, it is leaking through the plate where the ecu sits. Is it worht keeping this car, and would i be better off finding a different shell. The thing is its not rotten and bodywork is pretty good. What would you do? cheers  :smiley:

i'd probably have binned it with the leaky chassis legs, doesn't sound to healthy! don't you work for not-escorts? surely they could sort out a bit of welding and waxoyling?
