12 years ago I closed the lock up door on my MK2 Mexico - today I opened the door !

12 years ago I closed the lock up door on my MK2 Mexico

today I opened the door again with the determination and promise to bring her home before this spring and get her back on the road with a few mod's as soon as realistically possible

I'll elaborate a little more on the story sometime

but for now, here's a few pics from today, I feel like I've just found an old friend

followed by a few of her 'back in the day'

she's a Diamond White '78 model, still on original engine etc and I've owned her since 1988

Look forward to following the progress on this

thanks all ! I can't begin to tell you how elated I felt opening that lock up door today to find she was still there and looking as good as she does !

just before Xmas, the loss of an old friend who was younger than me, he got me into rwd Escorts when I was around 18, started me thinking it was time....

Weird as I only found the key again for the garage around 5 days ago too and had prepared myself for the worst !

Psyched myself up at lunchtime to head down there and investigate, so glad I did, 2011 is gonna be a great year !!!

jobs and circumstances changed so many plans I had for her, however now things are all good and even my family are supporting me doing this so it's all great stuff really !

even my 2 year old son points at the pictures of it and says 'daddies Mexico'

I'm made up right now
