Default My first car, Escoort Mk3 Ghia. :)

Okay guys, Think it's about time I put up a thread about my car.

Bought the old girl back in August last year, wasn't in good shape tbh.
since owning her, I've only done general maintenance (service's, New pad's) But no pics of that.

The paintwork when I got Ellie the Escort was pure and utter shite, nothing less. It was sprayed by someone who obviously didn't have much experience in bodywork etc. so been staring on the paintwork recently and it's so stubborn and clogs up the sander. The only thing that takes it off is a sanding pad on the grinder but that's taking it back to bare metal.

I really want too upload photo's of my build but I don't know how too.

You have to upload them to a website such as photobucket, then copy the img code and paste in into a comment and boom there you go..

The painted rocker cover that looks horrid (why it's off in previous post)


Panel I etch primed due too it being mostly bare metal.

Battery tray not looking too bad, will be removed, blasted & painted shortly.
