Default my escort rs2000

At long last I have started work on my rs2000. Witch is good really as I only had it like a year. So this weekend I started on it.

A pic of it in front of the barn where I found it. My dad went to buy the rsturbo and ended up buying the rs2000.

So so far I have striped the interior out the car to weld the rotten battery tray. I didn't think to take any pics of that, but this weekend I striped out the old bent axle and replaced it with the one out of our escort cabbie.

Cheers mate, yeah it is a cool car. I looked at the gear box today. As the car starts and you put it into gear but the car don't go any where?! So need to have another look. Problem is that when I opened the bonnet there was a bloody massive spider under there that was easy the size of a mobile phone. So I thought I could ither stay and work on the car or run away screaming like a little girl?! I bravely went for the second option. So that's about it for today lol
