Here are a few pictures of the car I bought a couple of months ago







Here is a few pictures of it when I got it home and gave it a good clean









And here is a few pictures in its current condition, just awaiting the alarm to be installed and the engine and gearbox to be removed ready for a full repaint

Looking good mate, apart from the little bad bits Keep us updated.

 

nice one m8t good to see cosworth's being restored

 

looks weird seeing an Escort Cos in bits but will be sooo worth it when shes back to looking her best, gotta love a tidy cossie

 

I took the head off yesterday, all seems to be ok, no sign of any wear on the camshafts, pistons, bores etc. Will be taking the gearbox out this afternoon when I finish work then just need to take the block out before it can go to the paint shop.
I've got it booked in for next week hopefully.

good project mate keep the piccys coming

 

Looks like it could be a good restoration mate and thats a sad sight seeing a cossie in bits, even weirder is i got a mate called paul painter who's into cossies aswell

 

I cant even remember taking my interior out, it was that long ago

Looks like a nice car, keep the pictures coming Paul

 

The car has just been fully painted (I will post some pics later in the week) The paint shop has also agreed to look after it for me until next March. They are being very good to me, its been quite difficult because i've done all this in a single garage. So the fact they are holding on to the shell means I can do the full rebuild on the engine and transmission. If anyone needs a high quality respray done then I will pass on their details, they are in bedfordshire.
