Default Mk4 Escort Cabriolet New Front End

Well after buying the car last year i've decided to put a new front end on due to the dreaded tin worm. I've bought a series 1 kit to fit along with a 90 spec front bumper and turbo bonnet.

This is the car when i first bought it.

This is it before i cut the old panels off.

New battery box in place. I bought metel to metal bonding adhesive for this it's very strong stuff. I think i might take it off again and weld it.

All the old panels off just the crossmember to come of.


The inner wings are not to bad a little tidying up.
