Average cost of restoration for a ford escort?

With only a bare body what is the avg cost minus the engine

There's no such thing as an "average cost" when it comes to restoring any car since there are a million different things that can affect the value/cost and the simple fact that every car is going to be in different shape.

It is a mk1 and i just need it running and drive able for the moment

That depends on many factors such as which generation and model of Escort, what needs to be fixed, where you are sourcing the replacement parts from, and to what level of restoration you want to achieve.

'Average' means nothing in this case. What really matters is your budget and your final objective.

I'm predicting around 2500. God bless.

  • What is average cost for front brake replacement on 2000 Mustang (in Oregon)? I'm looking at trading my 1998 Dodge Neon for a 2000 Ford Mustang. This is in Medford, Oregon. They say this Mustang needs new rotors and pads. About how much would it cost to do a brake job on this car, at independent shop? Also, this is just a Mustang. Not a GT or Cobra. Auto trans and appears to be all stock.
