hi peeps, seeing that winter is coming I needed to remove the rust from the rear asap! the car is not bad for its age, seeing as its 24 years old. some of you will find it nonsense that I am doing such a car its just my run around but having fun learning my trade on my own vehicle!



























rear end is still on its original paint, even the roof. cant wait to put on some colour now..

I had wondered what had happened to this.. Good to see the old girl getting some tlc.

And if ya get a minute check out http://mk4escorts.freeforums.org/index.php

Its a new escort forum.

Ryan_3

thankx for showing interest mate! will check the forum out.

Am now in two minds if I go with smoked rear lights or not??

chris m1

Seeing as 1 is broken anyway why not go for smoked, its easily changed if you want to swap back hey

Ryan_3

yep one was broken while I was at school. will try to find a set of smoked dont think they will look too bad!

Ryan_3

well sprayed soem other coats of filler on it, than the colour, I am happy with the result!

Looking good mate.I respect people like you who look after these old fords.they need a lot more tlc than modern cars do.

Any more plans for it.

Ryan_3

thankx mate I really appreciate it! I love it to bits, people laugh at me cause im restoring it, but i dont care!

well plan is to respray it, have new bonnet mudgaurds and doors all original, have some erst rims already in primer! and one day maybe an engine!

chris m1

Welcome back mate, As sais above fair play to you for sorting the old girl out.. They may not be the most desirable ford about but they certainly have the top charm factor..

Smoked lights look tops too

Great resto work, I need to do the same on my 2 Escort vans, but I don't have either the skills or the patience. You've done a great job there, looks super tidy

Nice work, your car reminds me of my first ford, was an 89 orion in the same colour.

In the picture of your sig it looks almost identical, i had xr3i alloys on mine

Ryan_3

Hello Ryan 3, You are doing a very good job on your car which it deserves, as you said the car is in good condition for it's age.

I hope that we see more Ford enthusiasts doing such jobs on these marvelouse cars! These cars should never die, you know I am an (ex Ford lover) and still love them!

And last thing, you reminded me of my ex red Landy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take care, see you friend.
