Ooh! I do like red! This is my rolling shell coming along. Coilovers, big brakes and poly bushes soon. One of these days I'll even get an engine in it! What does everyone think? PS The Morrette covers and front grille are away being painted that's why it's got no front lights.

 

wicked project you got there

 

thats a mint project how did ya come to get that shell or did ya blow the engine in it

 

Thanks guys. The shell came from one of the Traders on here. It was a full car but the trader bought it and sold the engine and I bought the shell. I already had the leather trim, Rondells, Morettes etc from another car so it's got a good start. The shell was a brand new one which had been used to shell a crashed Escort Cossie and it's all DVLA receipted etc. Should be nice when it's finished. I lurv red. The paint isn't quite as good as it looks in these pics in the odd place but it will be when I've finished with it!

 

Did it come from North Yorkshire Trev If so ive seen this car & is mint,but if im wrong it still looks a mint project mate

 

Lovely

 

For most peeps, this is the least inexpensive way to get into Escort Cossie ownership...as you can do it all in piecemeal, even if the price in the end equals or exceeds the car used. Plus YOU choose the spec from the very beginning (no trading cloth seats for leather, etc.)

Your method is similar to what I did, mate. Check out my website!

You should be well-chuffed. That's a gorgeous car, that! Please keep posting piccys

 

Looks a cool project Trev. I believe you when you say it will come out top notch! Keep us posted!

 

Paul, yes it did indeed.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes, I'm doing it as I can afford it and I've got a 4x4 Sapphie as well so I'm still able to play this year.

Hi Adam, how are you mate? Yes, anyone that knows me knows it'll be mega mint when it's finished.

 

Thought so Trev
Remember seeing it when i was up there, very nice mate, when are you hoping to have it on the road.

 

Oh, it'll be a while yet mate. Lots of work involved because it's going to be mega modified, watch this space as they say.

 

Im good Trev, you? your project is looking good, Good luck with it all!

Did you see my new post for how my new S2 is looking now? If not check it out!

Yes, I'm okay Adam. Your car looks fantastic. My Escort looks shiny but I'm at the 'Take anything off the car to check it and it falls apart in your hand' stage. It'll be a long road to mintiness but we'll get there. Looks like you're already there mate.

 

Trev, no no where near really. Need to get the underneath done this winter, oh and a couple of shoppin trolley dinks, but i plan to get that sorted.

 

I bet it'll look like a new one when you've finished with it.

 

looks sweet mate. Will look even better when you finished it

 

Trev, wouldn't mind showing it next year, but that is in a dream world, probably not the reality! Still, got her on a few little spots this year, my local regional days and hopefully rsoc national day and ford fair. Should be joining in on the S2 parade lap @ national day too Will we see any of your cars there?

 

I'll be coming to some of the shows in my Sapph, but it's not a show quality car really, it is nice though, and the engine is sweet as a nut.
