Talking MY 1983 MK3 Escort XR3I

Hi all not been on here for years so thought would post again Some may remember from my thread about my trackday MK5 RS2000 thread but since i sold that and moved over to a MG ZR160 3 years ago haven't had anything to post about So anyway onto my XR3I....

Ive had the car since 2006 (i think) as i always wanted one and by chance this car came up for sale, i used it for a summer but put in storage and just kind of forgot about it really. Anyway today i went to see it for the first time in about 6 years as the car has been over cover since 2006 and as i had a day off thought i would go and make sure it was still here. Glad to say everything is ok and the car is in the same condition as it was in 2006. As it stands its in original form over than the rado and as never been welded all tho it will need 2 small repair panels put in on the front of the floors and the tailgate repairing but for a 32 year old car that isnt bad. Here is a few pictures and a video of the, all i done here is to removed the cover and push it out into the light for the first time since the date on the tax disc....
