Haven't updated in awhile.. Painted it all Matt Black cause i was bored one day New guard arrived after a month or two.. Started to bare metal stuff.. I really want to take it to a panel beater and get it all done professionally.. Boot Etch primed boot Right front door is rotting away top and bottom In need or another one if anyone has one.. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34554 Baremetal doors Etch primed doors, few dents in one.. yusss

Scored some more goodies off trademe! Mounted them on my original rails.. (no cert hopefully?) Engine bay needing a spray.. Engine out getting worked on Under bonnet etch primed, needs to be redone as rolled was playing up..

New front panel welded on! My mate reset my leaves 2 inches, currently have 2 inch blocks in with no springs.. Custom made some bump stops, came up alright. Scored some Jamex super lows off trademe!

Off to the Ruff Kunt Workshop to get rust repairs.. Discovered a fair bit when we got the wire wheel out I must say.. Front of right sill.. Back of left sill.. Back left guard, old owners patches.. Back right guard.. Inside right rear door.. Front right sill.. All better for a few more years, shot Padgett!

Brought a cheap roll of black carpet! Covered the parcel tray after repairing it, came up mint! Stoked Made a boot with some plywood and added carpet! Got some Modgies - 14x6's for the front and 14x7's for the rear.. Ended up swapping for these ones with some skid tyres.. Tracked down some new center caps

Took a few pics one day when I went for a drive up the road like this.. Was good fun All the shitty bog pictured is now gone!

Car fully stripped on axle stands.. Started bogging and sanding a few places Not many pics though Stripped back ready for insides to be re-painted Interior all in mint condition! Apart from the gay sticker and a few dash cracks. Want to get the dash recovered at some stage. Engine bay looking in need of some TLC!!

I am located in the north island, Plan to basically restore the whole car. Just updated build with more info which might help answer some questions. Anything else you wana know or any ideas, post here. Cheers

DISCUSSION/HELP/IDEAS/ETC.. Link ---> viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34554 This is my 1976 mk2 escort. Got it in 2011. Came with a dodgy warrant, but rego on hold. Left front floor was rotting away Previous didn't know if it was a 1600cc or a 1300cc... But is 4 speed. I didn't take many pics for the first few months for some reason.. Here's it on day one. Jump started and took it for a decent drive when i got home! Ran better than I expected! Had cut springs in the front with 2" lowering blocks in the rear. Primer grey paint job with two green doors on other side, everything else standard as. Plans: -Full respray in gloss black! (if panel work is good enough) -Modgies or Hotwires -More lowering -Recover seats in black vinyl -A radio and sounds -General Tidy up -Lumpy cam -Tints, etc
