Default My 1977 mk2 escort 4door ghia

Just though i would let you all know about my little mk2 "valarie"!!
i bought her off ebay for 200quid lol hadent been on the road since 1999 lol, the running gear was origionaly a 1.3 gl 4 door which was rotten so a donor shell was bought to reshell the 1.3 the 4door ghia ( comes with ninyl roof (love it) nice seats wood dash etc. everything was in bits seats engine lights etc lol. I had her up and running within a week (was in november lol)
seats in everything as it should be touch wood and drove her to work for the mot ! had her up on the ramp and she needed some welding here and there the worst bit was the drivers floor pan and the inner wing/ flitch. Have since done all the welding bar the wing but should be done tommorow, freed off the stuck on front brakes, tightened up the prop , put 3 new brake pipes on her and got all the lights washers wipers etc working and in good order!! have also bought some black metal number plates, a 2.0 pinto engine (205 block ) getting some quater bumpers this week, and had the steel rims acid dipped and painted in ford flint (i think) black and laquered etc have also cut welded and brazed my sump to fit over the crossmember (who needs rs sumps lol! )here some pics off ebay
