diamond white series 2 rebuild
Hi all, after a long day I'm proud to say I'm the new owner of a lovely diamond white series 2 escort, some of u may recognize the car, baggy1979 has been restoring it for the past 3-4 years and has done a great job so far, unfortunately for him he had 2 sell as a project, however a gain for me and I plan 2 carry on the great work and detail he has, watch this space.....

Whats the plans for the XR3i?
I'd keep it standard, no need to replicate the Series 2 with such a clean shell.
(I assume you do realise its not a series 2 as per the thread title)

Cossie is all good mate but planning to do some tidying up over the winter. Ashley said I can leave my car down his garage so I'll take him up on that he's now got another ramp fitted and the pit is now redundant so he said I can leave my car on there. I want to do an underside resto which would be a lot easier on there than laying on the floor lol could really do with sending my coilys of for a refurb as well as I noticed the drivers rear is leaking I phoned gaz up and they said its only Ł160 to refurb all 4 shocks back as if they were new so I'll take them off and get them sent away. Once I get it down the garage I'll start a thread up
