Default Mk3 convetible resto

started out life when i got it as a black roofed, 1.6 mfi escort cab, spent many years and far too much money on it
first the engine blew so got another 1.6 cvh init which was pap! so dug deep and had a 2.1 zvh built at road and ralley and installed next door at iain corries,
then came the first respray, rs stickers, clear lights and a white roof.
then came the magnex zorsts and k+n and 5th injecter work from m.s.d
gas shocks and a bar chopped of the spring and it looked like this...

but un fortunalty it is 25 year old and things started to dissapear like metal!.....
which lead to this!

and this

so i got that chopped out


and welded but other things starter fallin out like more metal!
so it had to go in and get fixed!(more diggin deep!)
so it started, went and souced inner wings, wings, doors,bumpers,battery tray, boot, front panel, scuttle panel, cross member bonnet, a rs spoiler and it began!



all the way to london and back!! for them in the teg lol









so the rebuild starts, a new cross member goes in, and the inner wings

the rear arches and roof liner get rebuilt




more to follow
