MK5 ESCORT

passed my test last year, got a metro and a job but then seen the car i always wanted and i managed to buy it - although can't insure it yet as i'm only 20 (21 soon) so my dad is going to take care of it in the mean time, there is some little jobs to do but nothing major, i pick it up on Thursday.


Bit of painting to do on it..

I've got the belt cover, not long did the head gasket on it, but left it off as i ordered new belt/tensioner, i havent got the rubber that goes around the heater surround though, and the red motor cover will be cleaned off to its original colour.
