Hi all
Though it was about time that I posted some pics up of my MK2. I seen the numerous restorations and rebuilds you guys have been doing and seeing what can be achieved with a bit of patience (and a FBH ) has really given me the motivation to crack on with mine
I bought a MK2 shell last year with the aim of building a cossie powered escort to use for weekends and trackdays. It's turned out to be a long project, what with learning to weld and a crash course in underseal removal , but I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel pray: .
The shell had been a rally car in a previous life and judging by the dents in the floor I could see it had done quite a few miles as well.
Exterior didn't look too bad but I've owned escorts before and shiny paint is no indication of what lies beneath. Started off making a roll over jig
With the car up in the air I started hacking away at the underseal to see what condition the rest of the car was in
Do you really need this much underseal?
Thankfully the floor was in good condition, but very dented. But the chassis was excellent . Started finding the odd bolt hole here and there, and then another....and another......with the boot floor enventually looking like this
