well, time to start a resto thread on my mk2.
ive had this car roughly ten years now, it was bought as a complete car with a 2.1 pinto for the meagre sum of £700!! (if only they were still that cheap lol). i sold the engine bucket seats and a few othe bits and got the majority of the £700 back so the car stood me at sweet fa.
then one day i took a trip to a nice fellow called paul linfoot and came away with a nice freshly rebuilt 2wd cossie engine, gearbox ecu etc etc....
that is were it all came to a go slow for me, as i had inherited a bit of cash that i used to buy the engine then got distracted and bought an rs turbo

ran that for a few years while saving up to do the mk2, got myself a nice 10 grand saved to do the mk2 so as anyone would went out instead to buy a 3 door cossie lol!
anyway now they are both gone, out of my system and i have a few quid in my backpocket i thought now is the time to do the car i have really wanted since i was a kid
a cossie powered mk2 escort

im only going to get to work on this mainly at weekends so updates may be a little slow as im running a business which includes spraying cars so obviously i cant be chopping welding and grinding a mk2 if we have just laid some fresh paint down, but here is the progress so far
