I got my first ever car in about 1997 when I was 15. A 1968 Mk1 Escort. It was on the road for about 3 years before I moved out of home, I cant remember why but I didnt take it with me, no doubt it had a few issues and wasnt suited to rush hour traffic in the big city.
Anyway, it has been stored for the last 20 years, mainly in dry storage (though was in the rain a bit here and there when the owners of the property needed garage space). It hasnt been driven since then and over the years I had visited it only to raid it for parts for the other 3 Mk1 Escorts ive had since. But now is the time for a restoration!
As you can see from the photos shes not toooooo bad. I will post more detailed photos later. Theres about a dozen areas of rust that need to be repaired and no doubt more once I remove all the paint but thats all part of the fun right!
I have zero fabrication experience but I make my living as an artist and have always enjoyed working on cars (tho not to this extent!) So I will be treating this resto as another piece of art
So here she is...
