Sorry pressed submit instead of preview pics didn't work. Ill have to get a computer guru to show me how
I've started with an aussie rs2000 more rust than expected cutting that out at the moment, going to put a flat front on and strengthen the shell [semi rallyprep not for comp] as the shell looks like it may have a slight kink at windscreen pillars and there's a ripple on both sides on the inside panel beside the rear seat which leads me to think it may have had a few hard landings on bitumen as the underside doesn't look to have seen much gravel and as yet no evidence of a major shunt so having a stronger shell won't hurt also with roads up here it will be more of a daily driver.I will put photos up when I can as when viewing as a guest I found other peoples very interesting and informative and it should be a lot easier and quicker than this typing .
Not happy with my mig welding buying a tig handpiece for my little invertor so hopefully my panel welds will be a bit better.
It's been a while since I played with escorts so when I get pics up please feel free to comment[besides I,m to far away to do anything if I don't like them]
All the best

You shall get there in the end m8, welding was something i regret not doing when i was younger its a handy skill to have when your pastime is old cars...Comment

Yes hopefully I will.
You can always learn to weld and it's funny I sometimes regret not sticking at education and getting a good job so I could afford to pay someone to do my weldingComment

bulkhead
Tried to get pictures bigger no luck anyway bulkhead is almost finished just needs a lot of grinding and a little bog[or is that a little grinding and a lot of bog] as I had to fix rust on passengers side put gussets under rather than on top [seemed like a good idea at the time] didn't think I would need them as was going to put a cage in but the powers that be have decided that it's easier to cut a roof off and retrieve a mangled dead body from a prang rather than take a bit more time to free someone whose life has been saved by the cage but needs a bit of a hand to get out so no cages now in Qld road reg cars.Comment
