MY MK1 ESCORT (Now turbo'd)
After 5 months of sitting in my lock up,with the occasional scrape at the paint,i have decided to have it sandblasted i found a place local to me who are blasting it and coating with a zinc primer for Ģ450...they have a good reputation and i cannot wait to get it back,photos will be put up soon
regards mark
I went to the sandblasters today to get some photos its a bit cheesey in places
regards mark
had a bit of work but looks like a good un to me m8,mine was worse than that when i got it back from the sandblasters m8 ,keep the pics coming tho
yeah its had alot done to it but it looks bloody solid

Hi all
yes she is a good'un and fairly solid but has had a bit of welding...i expect that there are lots of minters running around that are a lot worse than this underneath the paintwork but i know there is no rust in mine
regards mark
Did you have the body blasted as well ? What sort of blast did they use & what sort of pressure ?
I remember getting a Mk2 shell blasted that had a weld in cage in it, the lad blasted the cage and buckled the roof !!!
Hello all,

Hi mate, looks sweet, good base there for you to work on.
Can you elaborate on the roof skin replacement for me a bit? Did you remove the old one and re spot weld new one in and do you have any more pics of this? Its something mine needs so interested to see it done.
