bit bored, so thought i would put a few pics up of the "other" escort in my life
a lot of them are rather old as I have had the car about 8 yrs now (and never driven it
)
a couple of pics of the "stunning"
example when I picked it up

'nother pic from the side sitting on the farm on purchase day
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/mexside676x507.jpg)
when purchased even though it looked really rough I "thought" it was actually resonably solid
as I started stripping it down I realised just how bad it was !
front crossmember (yep I jammed the hammer between the "new" gaps for effect)
note the previous "repair" panel
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/mexfrtradsupp676x507.jpg)
car rolled onto it's side, things not looking much better !
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/mexfoor676x507.jpg)
at the this point I decided the only way to go was a thorough shotblasting !! pic taken as we removed the remains out of my Dads van, me grinning on the left hand side (I was so naive then
)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/Mexico/mexlift676x507.jpg)
starting cutting the car up at this point to discover the true nastiness
removed roof skin (didnt want a webasto) a choclate teapot for guessing all the removed panels in the background (apoligies for really dodgy pic of me in this one !!!)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/Mexico/mexroof528x396.jpg)
more "spares" namely chassis rails up to the rear seat, a posts, inner and outer sills, floors to name a few
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/Mexico/floorbitz528x396.jpg)
new expressed floors and 2nd hand chassis rails were fitted at this point (got a few looks from the weekly commuters as I rolled the scrap doner shell over in my front garden and ground those off one night )
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/Mexico/chassisrails528x396.jpg)
'nother view showing new sills also fitted
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/Mexico/floorsills528x396.jpg)
good 2nd hand valance fitted from another donor shell
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mogsmex/Mexico/bluevalance528x396.jpg)
not long after these pics it all went very wrong and almost ended up as tin cans...........................
Cheers Glyn
