Escort Mk2 RS2000 Custom resto

[redwizz]

Time has come to start on the driver’s side. Not as much work to do as the passenger side and once done will only leave a hand fully of job left to complete the metal work on the old girl. On the driver’s side we are looking to replace the inner and outer sills, inner and outer rear arches, repairs to the rear jacking point and a few repairs to the drivers floor pan/bulkhead and bottom of the A post. I’ve been able to get most of the replacement parts but some parts will have to made. Enjoy the pictures.









Rear arch








Jacking point



Bulkhead/floor






Decided to remove the drivers seat rail and it was a good job I did!




Forgot to take pictures of the sill finished so I’ll add them later. I reason I forgot was because these turned up!



I tried to ignore the new wheels and front struts sitting there in the corner but I couldn’t resist a test fit lol

I donnt think you should have any problem getting work judging by the workmanship you can see in them pics
