1985 Escort Cabriolet Restoration - Summer 2010!
It all started 3 years ago when i saw her in a car show room for £1995 and immediatly fell for her charms and beauty, anyhow back to the car
Yep was 3 years or so ago now, maybe even 4 since i handed over 2000 of my hard earned to have a shiney red cabbie that has spent MORE time on axel stands than it has on the road!
Heres the first ever picture i took, just after i got her home
And at Trax a number of years ago (My fav shot, so far!)
Well 3/4/5 years down the line shes nearly back to better than factory condition and has been worth every penny (although i sometimes think i'm mental.)
The following pages are a brief insight into the trials and $HITE we go thru restoring a IMO wicked car
Bring on the summers and the years more useage i'm going to get
(think i might pass it down to my great grand children
)
Sometime last in 2003.............................................. .....
Just received these back from the reconditioning place in Wrexham
No before picture tho, just afters!
Just gotta get my rotors and offset bells and away we go............well sooner or later.
I didn't ask for them to be so
its just how they were done!
Also just picked these parts up from the powder coaters (same one as TT used)
And yes red is my fav colour!
Hopefully can get things on the way now.
