Project Mouse. Mk1 Escort build.

[Lee R]

Overdue update. Cars almost done. Waiting on a few bits so I can finish interior. Can't finish it till my handles come back from chromers as I need to fit those before the door cards etc. Ready to attempt starting, just waiting for starter motor which I am collecting Monday. Fingers crossed.

New headlining, what a ball ache that was!



Refurbished rear shelf and rear quarter cards. Cards already had speaker holes, so fitted new speakers as I will want some tunes in the car even though the twin carbs will sound nice That rear shelf was absolutely knackered! You would not believe what I refurbed it with!












Will get some better picture soon, the camera on the iphone 4 is crap! Waiting for a new charger for my main camera!

It really baked my head mate. Just got to trust that you can stretch and pull it taught haven't you?!!! As when you first start pulling it it seems like it will never go right.

[Lee R]

Thanks Dave

[HarrierTony]

Coming on nicely mate

[Lee R]

Cheers Tony. Got the engine turning over tonight with the plugs out to make sure it was all ok and sparking. Got fuel going through filter to carbs so fingers crossed with a charged battery she might fire up tomorrow!

don't think I've ever seen you do a shite job on any of the cars you've done

[Lee R]

Cheers Vinny. What you got now mate?

[eagie]

It was the biggest ball ache of a job I'd done but the most rewarding when finished I'm really happy how it turned out.
Just went easy with a heat gun and dozens of clip things to hold it and it came good

Lovin that colour mate, and i know what yu mean about the headliners, trying to fit an old one is even worse

[vinny]

Cheers Vinny. What you got now mate?
