    Help needed!!!

    Hi guys!

    Right just bought a 2door Mk2 escort shell which all in all is a good solid one....but the inner wings are non existent I do have genuine replacements but after a bit of fitting guidance? Has anyone done this before? I have the small hole inners and wondered if anyone had any measurements at all?

    Any my help will be appreciated!!

    many thanks

    sounds simpler than it is obviously but if you mark original positions vertically on bulkhead before removal and then refit to match marks and chassis rail then it should be ok. distance between top holes can be checked.

    Never done it. If i was going to do it i would make up a jig between the the top mounts and maybe join into some other know bolt holes if you have any. Then replace each one at a time mounting back to the jig. Also take loads of measurements for reference before you do a final weld.
