nobody wants to see a car put together with potentially lethal welding, damaged componants and half arsed paint jobs friend, if you are going to do a job and then post pics of it up on a forum like this, you need to do it properly or its going to get slated. not only that, but using damaged parts, gives off a bad impression straight away, if i were a mod id be locking this thread incase some young fella thinks what you are doing is ok

what kind of welder did you use?you say you dont have the time to do it, but in an earlier post you argue that point by saying thatyou have plenty of time and you will re weld it later on. same with the brake drum, surely easier to jist do it the once?

Fair play for having a go and trying to learn but if i were you i'd try to get one job sorted to a decent standard before starting other things. You keep saying you will redo the welding but you should be sorting that first.

No offence, but you need to learn how to do things one at a time. I admire your enthusiasm and i can understand that you just want to get your project sorted but that car is going to be rotten again in no time and it's going to end up with a paintjob that resembles the himalayas.

a escort is a great place to cut your teeth as everything is so simple to work on, enjoy the car and and when its time to move on from this car then reflect on experience

Looks good in the 1st pic in post #62, The rest a bit meh!

End of the day its still a shed hidden under paint etc. I love the fact you deleted every dodgy welding pic in the 1st post you made.....

Lastly no a fan of the random red stitching you done here and there.
