Talking Mk2escort grp4 cosworth conversion paul&si

It's coming up to 3 years ago now we started this project so it's about time I started a resto thread. I've been putting pictures up now and again but will start from the beginning, if I can find all the pictures.
After we got the car home it was in a sorry state, some one had left a car battery on the roof that had leaked. You can imagine the mess that left, the door skins where nackered and the heater bubble had some real rust. So we removed the front wings and cut out the heater bubble







Then we cleaned up the inner wings they weren't too bad really




The previous owner had tried to repair the rear pillars which had rusted through after we got through all the filler this is what we was left with



This wasn't good so we sourced a pair of rear quarters and fitted them to replace the pillars



While we was doing that we also stripped the engine bay down to bare metal

Seam welded the chassis while we was in there and put strengthening plates in
