mk5 escort cabriolet 1.8si project
Hello everyone 
I'm mike, the proud owner of a L-reg ford escort 1.8si cabby
I bought the car around xmas, with the intentions of taking her off the road and spending a few quid tarting the ol' girl up in time for summer. .
This summers now a write off for me as iv been sent to afghan . . however. . now iv got plenty of time off when i get home in september (iv got 13 weeks to take before april) and a few extra quid in the coffers so now iv decided to make it abit more of a project.
The problem is im abit of a "all the gear, no idea" kinda modder so i dont think a haynes Max Power manual is gonna get me through this haha.
Iv joined the site to hopefully get a few idea's where i wanna go with this (im thinkin cossie look at the mo?) and abit of tech advice.
Unfortuantly i havnt got any pics at the mo as im still in helmand but shes in really good knick for her age and still had an MOT when i bought her, Im hoping i can decide what look im going out for and start buyin some gear whilst im out here so its sat waitin for me when i get home so i can hit the ground runnin. .
Has any1 else got a similar project they are working on? any idea's/advice would be very welcome!!
cheers, mike
