I think most parts I'm going to us will probably be second hand. This car is such bad shape the only panel I'm not changing is where the spare wheel kept. Really a shell change should be done but most mk4 escorts here in sweden are rotten as well or convertible. Im just looking to make it a nice running safe solid motor again. The engine seems ok. Just needs all new gaskets, belts, service etc. The guy put nice set of 17 inch rims on. I dont know the brand name but he didn't change the standed shocks or springs. He just put shit load of rubber blocks inbetween the spring coils to try stop them rubber. But didn't work so he hacked at the arches with a angle grinder to try stop the rubbing but still didn't work. He didn't shut the bonnet properly as well and it opened up on him and smashed the screen, roof, skuttle, bonnet and hinges. So need to change all them. The list of things I need to change and do gos on and on. This car had a very hard life but my wife and kids love it more then me so let the restoration begin.
