mk5 Escort Rebuild
First things first hello to any one whos reading this ive been watching a few of the rebuilds on here and i thought it was time to share mine
now how to cut a long story short ???
i rebuilt my first car (1.4 cvh ) and did a rs/xr lookalike which i am happy with. Then i found what i thought was a bargin at my local scrap yard. A 105 xr3i mk5b in blue which i snapped up for just over £200 did some work to it (battary tray footwell ect ) the i found the chassis rails were very nasty so had them sorted but wasnt happy with the work that was done. so it just got left untill i found a mk5 on escort evo which was being sold it had been striped for a track car but the fella lost intrest so for a bargin price i snaped it up knowing what needed doing
any ways hears some pics (hope i do this right as i havnt used my photo bucket for ages)

the plans for the black one is to rebuild her but with a few of my own tweeks
org the car was a 130 model but the engine had been taken out and worked on he did offer me the engine but i couldnt aford what he was asking so i will be using the 105 from the 5b
shell came with lots of bits chucked in side which took me and my mate a day to sort out
at this moment in time ive had the welding done on the the footwells and a bit done on the pass side sill tbh u cant even tell its been done which im happy about
wanting to fit cossy seats ect (black and red hex )
tinted windows
lower her not sure how much yet
twin head light and maby cossy grill
im going to keep the orange lights as i like them
insides been painted along with a few other bits
so im just slowly rebuilding now the weathers better
