Lovely car and my fav colour but those wheels need melting down Asap

 

Very nice.

 

Looking good matey.

 

Old mondeo ultima wheels I think, unusual for a cossie

 

Only rolling wheels got Azev a to go on

 

From those pictures, i'd of put money on that car being petrol blue! Is it just my eyes? Lol

Looking good though pal

 

No it's deffo mallard green

 

Looks very nice.

 

 

 

Great build thread, coming on nicely.

 

very nice build looks like a good fit.

 

That's some impressive work and attention to detail!

 

Keep up the good work mate

 

Lovely that, really nice job.

The Morettes and Azevs don't do much for me but Mallard is such a lovely colour, definitely the best of the bunch.

Does look funny on those Mondeo wheels though On a normal Escort they would probably look quite big but they look totally lost on a Cosworth!

 

Azevs have gone got comps now

 

Good stuff, keep the updates coming

 

Really nice work, keep the updates coming

 

Real good home build thread, kind of reminds me of my last one. You are doing a fantastic job and surely just pouring value into it! Will be worth a few quid at then of all this.

 

Thanks guys hopefully it's going up and up I enjoy doing this sort of thing built a fair few cars at home just fancied another escort and this came up so I bought it and went on my merry way

 

Wow mate that looks mint. You will be scared to use it whem its done incase you get it dirty lol.

 

Lol oh no it'll get used trust me

Bloody nice job you've done there

 

Wow, lovely resto...lucky escape for that one to survive eh

 

Looking nice mate, cracking job!!

Out of interest, was it you that did the group buy on the Philloy strut brace, years ago??

 

That was me pal yes

 

Many years ago... Still got it fitted. Always polishes up really well...

 

Good work!

Lovely looking car
