Default Escort MK3 Cabriolet SE restoration week 7 update
So here we go again.

Started to strip the car down and have found that it is a solid car and no rot anywhere.
Went and got all the paint on Monday £140, so could do with the weather warming up a bit now so I can make a start, will do the bodywork repairs in the meantime.
Have had a field day on ebay already buying parts that I want to replace.
Need to get some of the interior re upholstered, but going to get that sorted once the bodywork is right.
Also going to get a new white hood for it as well.
Not doing a full nut and bolt restoration, due to 1 it does not need one and two I intend to use it most days, along with the XR2, if I did a full nut and bolt restoration it would stay in the garage and be trailered around, and personally I don’t see the point in that, but everyone to their own.
Here are the first pics and let the restoration begin.
