i,ve just started building my mk1 4x4 i,d been looking for the one that woz built years ago as its massive job to take on but never found, it so i bought a saff 4x4 4 the parts, found a mk1 with rusty floor and got my mate round with his stilly! only got few pic,s and will keep posting as i get on with it it will be running greys with t34 pro 500 cooler coilovers compression struts polly bushed electric power steering adj tca,s any way here,s some pic,s

 

holly shit you brave brave man good luck ............................

 

Iam a year infront of you, done the same thing to a mk2...be prepared for loads of graft...

 

how far are you along with it i started 3 weeks ago

 

just going for paint...bit more on than this pic

 

bloody hell

helluva project milaaad,crack on

 

Brilliant project. Dont forget to get some photos up regularly. Always wanted to see one of these projects from the start.

 

few have been done but no one ever takes pic,s from the start, but i have and will carry on i do have most of the parts just need fuel tank and little bits and bob,s now i have stuff every were in the house even t34 and bubble arches are in attic he he running ecos rims on it hope they look ok did post and ask about some one photo shoping a mk1 with them on but no takers he he

 

Ive photos of the build from day 1, biggest thing i didnt think about would be the build cost, Ł1800 for dipping, Ł2000 for wheels and so...soon adds up..hope it goes well, mine will be on the show scene this year so come and have a look..

 

Are you going to put some pictures up of your project? Love to see them.

 

will post them up later on a new thread when its been painted ..the car has been dummy built 4-5 time so wont be take long to put together..

 

I must be shaming myself i thougt my XR2 was bad in my opinion. But you guys must be freaks unbelievable. Amazing job to go on with that... go on like this and keep these cars on the road

 

You beat me to it. I will be running my 4 door mk2 this year with all it's bits in place as i have never driven a fast mk2, but over winter my bubble arched mk1 shell will be getting the sierra floor treatment. Check out andy's mk2 thread for pointers/inspiration. I'll have to pop round sometime to see the progress . Best of luck.

 

i,ve been buggin andy for some pointers ! you can come round when ever but at min their is nowt to see yet, but give me a month and it will be well on its way

 

nice to see that you have made a start mate....... the mk1 escort shell duzz'nt look to bad, shame to chop......... but still going to be a cool project.......
