Pleased to see that you lot are still interested in my Escort.....Moved house and have just had the internet working so that would explain my absence...Found out yesterday that it has finished being sandblasted...and I'm due to pick it up sometime next week. The chassis work is completed but still have a few strengthening parts to weld on and alot of fitting and finishing. Will have updates as soon as I can get my hands on it!

Fear Not!!......I haven't given up but haven't got anything done on the Escort. My Escort went to be sandblasted in June/July time and still haven't seen it. My Escort went there and as soon as it went out the workshop space has been taken up by another car! Have been really really ****ed off about the whole thing and finally hae been made a space...we went to go and pick up the trailer last week and found it broken, so have fixed it and will hopefully go to pick it up sometime next week. Still doubtfull but still trying my hardest to get it srted so I can work on it again!!!!!!!

Its Back!!

Finally after about a year I finally have my Escort!!! Got it back to college and took some pics. Did couple hours work doing a bit of welding and stuff, got a couple plates welded in on the front suspension area. Got a little team sorted of younger students that will be working on it with me, so hopefully will see some more progress.

Slightly excessive, yes, but just experimenting with milling the profile for the rollcage:





Fits nice though:
