now with the car all painted and looking spiff we started by bolting in the newly aquired 1600 mk2 motor once that was done time to put it back together to ship it to my workshop to finish but before trailering it away i had to play with the new shiney toys that turned up And they see me rollin....

Hey guys newish to the forum so thought it'd be about time I sort out a build thread for my new pride and joy! Disscussion thread- //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/35479-andys-1974-escort-gt-discussion-thread/ Last year my best mate bought this onyx green mk1 GT in the idea to restore her and give it to his mrs for a present. The plan was panel, paint, wheels and a 1600 motor. Sadly after afew weeks he hated the car because he should of bought a 2 door and lost interest.... so i bought it happy as a pig in shit!!! so we proceeded with the plans of the rebuild. as the car still had the original paint is was pretty clear where the problems were, but unlike other mk1's this thing was near rust free except the small squares in the rear wheel archs!! once the rust and panel beating was taken care of we went through and started the painting. the colour is a hard one to photograph as it seems to come up white on a camera but it is actually a very light blue.
