Default Mk4 escort cabriolet project.

Hello, I'm new on here so thought I'd start a thread on my mk4 cabby project. It was supposed to be a quick clean, refresh and back on the road, but it's become a bit more than that.

A mechanic I certainly am not, so it's slow going at the moment and I'm learning as I go.

I owned this a few years ago and reluctantly sold it to my brother in law when the Mrs got a company car as we had nowhere to keep it.
So when he offered it back to me for £400 last Xmas I jumped at the chance.

Here it is the day I collected it, covered in crap from being sat in his ivy infested garage for almost two years.

The first job was to give it a quick clean.

Then I picked up a set of Borbet A's in 16x7.5 ET30 that needed a good refurb, had them dipped to get rid of the horrific paint.

Then had them refurbed and painted in gloss black, and wrapped in Toyo T1R 195/40/16
