hi, new here so bare with me! i recently got myself 1971 mk1 escort project the car is really solid with no rot but it came to me with no wings or front panel fitted. just wondered if there is any usefull tips out there for lining them up/fitting etc. iv got hold of the panels needed and just offered them up for now but it looks like its going to be difficult as there isnt really anything to line them up with. any tips would be appreciated thanks

 

i norm just use various grips to hold it and test alignment before welding if this helps

 

Nice to see theres another mk1 owner around the Derby area.
Get some pics up and good luck with your project

 

line the wings up with the doors and bonnet and the front panel should line up with the wings,as said use clamps to hold in place or as i do put an odd tack off weld here and there to hold in place until all lined up,hope this helps mate
