Default help with my 69 mk1 escort

Hi,

I am new to the site and have recently bought a 2dr 69 mk1 escort wanting to turn it in to stripped out bubble arch 2.0 pinto toy.

I am looking for somewhere in the north west area that can fit the steel bubble arch conversion, possible fit a new rear quarter and fit a roll cage. I already have a paint shop for the paint but would like some one who know what there doing to prep the shell so its is proper.

Any advise would help cheers

Cheers will give it a look. Might sound stupid but is it a lot more involved than buying the steel flared arches cutting the wings and rear quarters and then welding them on?

Not really if your competent enough to do a bit of welding then is Definitely do-able just make sure u do little bit at a time so as not to put too much heat into the panel and warp it if you check out turbosport there's plenty of advice on fitting them bud
