my old pigs made it home at last

[badnews]

well today i managed to fetch one of the old escorts i have so i thought i would put up a few more piccs of the old beast as it sit's on blocks outside my shed. i have started to strip it ready for going on a spit so i can do a proper job of it. leaveing it sat outside in the bush has done it no favours but it will be fine. i have found a few bit's of rot but not a lot i will take a few more piccs tomorow as when i had finished pulling stuff of it and throwing a bucket of water over it it was starting to go dark so only got a few quick piccs.




looks good down here ahahahah



a bit of a graze on the rear 1/4 but nothing that won't straighten out and the paints started to peel back to the primer due to the sun






another ding on the 1/4 but an easy fix


woo hoo no cracks or rot aahahhhaha


and this is where it has sat for the last four years

Thats better than some stuff left on the road over here

that looks like a nice start good shell, glad you can leave yours outside could not do it here, would be a pile of rust in 6 months

i'm well happy to get it home at last but it won't be a quick job as i won't have a lot of time till the end of jan but i will be able to strip it and get it on a spit, i intend to bare metal it as all the panels are original so it will be worth it in the end.

Sat for four years and look at it!! If it had sat over here for four years the only thing left would be the blocks!! Looks a really good shell and a nice shed to build it in.
