    Surely the only car worse for rusting than a MkI or MkII Escort...
    ...yep, that's the one the MkIII? Battery tray eh? The old favourite

    I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end, good luck with the resto

                      you know pictures can make things look nice but when we started looking at the floors and you can see the carpets, you know things are not right, this car should never been MOTd, once we pulled all the mastic of we found the servo area un safe, I bought the car in good faith and wanted to use for shows with the family 2 young kids, So its got to be safe.
