they must call you lion heart for the courage to resto this escort, mine had only 10% of rust compared to the white shell and still started to rust again after two years.....But great fabrication I must admit...
good luck

the project is really coming along
As you might be doing some welding for me at some point should I keep the Fiesta Zs I am currently breaking just in case replacement metal is required or will the gauge be different? I have the full car you see.......
Bile looks nice! Always liked that colour too - looks like it means business!
Would love to get myself a hyabusa but just couldnt trust myself lol My mate came off his a few times and in the end put the engine in a golf lol as he said it was safer......
