Default RWD MK4 Escos

Now I am certain most of you will no this car & at present I can take no credit for it. I was toying with the idea of building one for a long time but with my new buisness I just didn't have the time.

I read through a lot of resto's with great admiration & im hoping by me starting one of my own it'll motivate me more into getting it finished for early summer.

So after bending Billy's ear for a while we managed to sort a deal for me to take the car as a rolling shell, this way I could put my own mark on it & make it my own.

At present it sits like this in my workshop

The plan at them minute is to go for a full colour change, I like the colour now but I'm never going to get away from it being "that's Billy's car" (Sorry Bill ) and doing it now while the car is mostly stripped would make a lot more sense.

I'll keep this updated as & when, hopefully be going in for paint in the next week or so..... Watch this space!
