[south west restorations]

Hi guys back again
a have started another build on a ford escort mk2 rs2000
its in a kind of sorry state in a way .someone has mucked about with it in the past and think he said it be raced sort of..so a few area needs sorting and make better.this rs is yellow the now but think owner changing colour but not decided as yet.
Doors are shot .there seconhand wings to fit so see thru build how they fit.a few new panels to on.there has been a odd new panel fitted in the past but rust surface .so will cut out to fit new ones.
Have been at this car of and on last 3 months.time sclae there is any but a hope to have it done and finshed by end of this year.
Not sure of age of this car.owner has had it a wee while been sitting in his garage couldnt get anyone to do till my best man put me on to him so thats how a have the car .cheers taffy.

Pics will follow soon of work progress.
