    Restoration of Escort MK2 - project No.2

    I found in Germany Escort MK2, which does not have much rust, so going into the 2nd project and make it Grp.4 shell. If it will be a replacement shell if IŽll smash 1st project or for sale, I do not know yet
    But it would be a shame to leave it there and do not buy it...

    Finally, after a long time, it was time to go into this car. After blasting, it turned out that corrosion was worse than I thought. So I'll exchange everything for new parts, it's no use to fix it.

    Attention! Don't make the same mistake as me. I cut off the sill and thought that it was enough to use a tube to reinforce it. Still, it opened about 3mm and I had to use a strap to get it back. The metal on the post bends inward.
