Default Mk3 Escort Ghia on carbs

Yesterday i headed down to Aberdeen to pick this little beauty up, bought on a whim without veiwing it first and not regretting it one bit.

It has a fair few problems needing sorted out for an mot but most of them are small things.

A list of plans.
  1. New fuel tank
  2. Little bit of rust on both rear passenger door shuts
  3. Rebuild/retrim the RS1600i front seats as they are knacked
  4. New boot struts as currents cant hold boot up
  5. Find a replacement front left bumper trim
  6. New brakes all round (thinking cossie fronts and rear discs?? need help on this one)
  7. New battery (may get a battery tray for peice of mind aswell)
After all that it may be ready for an MOT but i'll get it up on a ramp sometime this week to confirm condition. Overall really pleased with and hopefully have done fixing it.

Some Pics.

Cheers for looking and hopefully have some progress soon. Any comments/criticism or ideas welcome.

Cheers, Duncan
