about a year ago i owned a mk4 1.4l escort
i sold it to a mate who decided that he wanted to euro with it
so ive been enlisted to do most of the work
progress will be slow but we want it to be right
so here it was



i started to strip it to see what we had to work with

i soon discovered that the rear arches were going to need replacing
but worse than that the drivers side rear inner arch would also need some work
so i cut most of the rear quarter off to see if it could be salvaged



i then trimmed back the inner arch



cut out the rotton bit and put in a bit from a donor car we had



then trialled up the new inner arch




while i had a grinder in hand i cut the front wing off to see what the inner was like



and ive also made a start smoothing the bay as its going to have a hidden loom

combi van man

bloody hell.you like using the grinde dont ya lol.do you have new rear 1/4's for it?

we will be getting some once i have done the inner sill repairs that need doing
only about Ł80 for a rear quarter so not too bad
especially as im not paying

its amazing how some of the car is mint and other parts need major work

if all goes to plan it is having a zetec on carbs,wide little euro wheels,baby blue paintwork,stack of smoothing
and ive been debating a dashboard swap
focus?
