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

 

cheers mate its got some rust but nowhere near as much as the red one haha

steve

 

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......

 

lol bet the golf shifts lol and as for metal i only used the bit of the roof coz the place that sells sheets of it was out of stock lol so had to improvise and the bike dont look so nice now its in bits all over front room haha the missus is propper impressed haha

steve

 

updates will be slow as sumone in town thought it would be a good idea to try and bottle me with a smashed bottle the fucking pissed wanker so i know have a massive gash tetween my finger n thumb on the webed bit so carnt move me thumb.
well hope the cunt gets what he deserves

steve

Good progress mate, lots of hard work!

Why bother with the tunnel? Just knock out your patio doors and have it in the living room
