sorted the photobucket out !! drove me mad and nearly put the pc through the window ! ok onwards and upwards . removed scuttle pannel ! to rusty to repair so got a minter off Darran (Escort Tech ) thanks mate ! its being stripped of paint at the moment , removed nearly all the rust now and replaced with hand made fabricated pieces or replacement pannels ! im really trying to save as much of the original car as possible ! had to replace rear valance . Removed the wings to find a few holes here and there ! so cut out and welded in new metal . Sometimes i cant see the end but i know how nice it will be when finished !! so that keeps me going ! The nosecone went off to be painted last week and ive got most new old parts to go back on . more pics soon ! thanks for looking john

thanks paul !! most people would have replaced the rear full pannels but at over £600 plus vat each !!

back bit !

thanks paul !! most people would have replaced the rear full pannels but at over £600 plus vat each !! it was more cost efective to cut out the rust and repair , you need to be carefull when doing a restoration ! that the project doesant get silly and you pump in to much money . its costing a fortune anyway lol
