Default Ford Escort Mk6 Project (newbie)

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and I thought that I would share my little project I am working on.

I bought the car for £500 from a guy in Essex about 2 years ago. At the time I used it everyday so did what I could but now I have a Ford Focus 2.0 as a daily run around. This means the Escort is in the garage so I can do the job properly!

The plan is for it to be a solid car, with escort cosworth styling and a track car look/ feel.

Anyway i'm waffling lol. Hope you like it.............

When I bought it



Dashboard and carpet out



Seats out to sand and inspect rest of floor



Primer time after an age!!!!! of masking





Inside painted Black (dirty now lol)





Car done until garaged



Both cars sat on driveway awaiting trailer to take the Escort to the garage






And so the work really begins......







New purchases - MSD ignition, full samco hose set and Pro Alloy radiator and fan















Focus left on it's own at home :-(




Apart from a slight hiccup.......



It's been great fun to work on.

Other work done:

Koni suspension fitted,
Rocker cover painted black,
Fire extinguisher purchased.

more pics and updates to follow.

Any comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks for looking
