ok then folks,have been up the garage again today.heres a pic of one of the other projects me and dave are working on.(the car is daves).







he bought it last feb completely standard.its stage 1 230bhp.coming of the road for resto after my RST is done.what do we think of it?

and the other project is a mk2 golf gti 8v.

ANYWAY.back to the escort.got the rear side windows out today and glad we did.




any longer and the rust would have spread.

finally got the 88 spec spoiler of,had to drill it,the boots fucked anyway and need a new one .looks better with the 90 spec













found a bit more rust today.a hole in the engine bay.next to the fusebox.



a bit on the boot mount on the roof.



and my doors underneath the seals are skanky.





its decided now am going for the carbon fibre roof,and am going to angle grind and sand all the rust of the shell,then anti-rust,then anti rust primer the whole of the car,inside and out,and underneath,spray mercury grey again and then fit the roof.
we now have power,hinted at the guy who lives behind the garages,and we can now run a lead from his to the garage.
so once the shell is done,new suspension,wheels and tyres and a few bits on the engine and itl be back on the road.and now ive got another job (start monday) i can see it happening now.keep you updated people.
