what axle are ya running on the escort to fit 8s under the arches????

[alancdavis]

did the early works cars have smaller arches that fitted below swage lines?

If I am correct Forest Arches fit below the swage line and Tarmac Arches go above the swage line

Bloody hell this is progressing quickly, nice to see the welding on the car has improved 1000% compaired to the pre resto stuff

[Hoonabator]

Great progress. I take it the fit of the repair panels available are pretty good these days.

Excellent progress mate.. I still can't believe what needs doing as your car looked mint on the outside before work started. It will be better than factory when finished , plus welding is top notch... Keep up with the pics

Fantastic work going on there as I & many others have said previously can't quite believe how bad it was
God knows what it costs these days to have someone do all that work
It must have been a bit of a shock to the system when they kept finding all the 'grot'

[jezerams]

looking for a decent pair of doors for the mex, bottoms on mine are fairly far gone. PM me if you have anything, thanks

[Lee R]

Good stuff

[RUDDY]

Don't forget the passenger side splash panel has a bulge in it for the harness multi plug to sit into, the cheap repro panels do not have this but the Expressed panels one does, you may find the plastic inner trim panel won't fit at a later date if you don't allow for the multi plug.

Looking good tho
