Arched Mk1 Escort

I recognise that from the crosby pub. Knew it was hidden for a reason!

Not managed to do a huge amount due to the weather and TT, but below is a couple of more pics....

Looks a totally different car without the spoilers..


To be expected


Not the tidiest of jobs, probably going to need cutting out and redoing eventually




Birds nest of wires

Gorgeous car, but a few tough jobs ahead!

[ah kid]

I think hammerite do a paint that eats rust but be careful with it cos you might come back to the ramp and only 4 wheels left on it nice car kid , hope all goes well !!

Heh, the main tool for working on these is a dustpan & brush.... Managed to strip the cage & buckets out of it last night and thankfully there wasn't too many surprises there, apart from the cage not being fitted properly

Wiring & Dash are now all out of the Escort. Unfortunately my back is screwed again...

Before:










During:







After:







Next job on the list is to whip the engine out, remove the windscreen, remove what's left of the old dash then start stripping the engine bay & interior paintwork to see what's hiding beneath....
