It's been standing there for 20 years. Everything structural is sound. Just needs a pair of wings, a door, sills, front panel, wheel arches and a new floor and its as good as new

i rather like RAT look, so get a nice 2l engine for it, and drive about like that lol

if you going for the rat look, just sand down the new panels, and in some place sand down all way to bare metal, and water and salt it everyday, would soon get messy,
ive always wanted mk1 or mk2 van or estate, im never luckily enough to find owt though, plus i dont really have anywhere to store one, ahhhhhhhh

cut the sill of. Looks really good underneath. The red paint is the original primer from Ford. I've just added some more rust protection
And the new one tacked on

All escorts come with the type 49 strenghtening in Norway. Guess we are lucky
I was really lucky with this one too. The strut tops are mint
No welding needed...
