ESKIN8R

Goodluck mate, good to see a car being saved from oblivion!

Saw this yesterday on way to work. Looks nice!

Extremely happy with paint and panel work

Assorted new parts. Painting including blackouts complete. Reassembly to begin!

Lol the non locking fuel caps. Seem to be rare in escort circles.

Managed to hunt down two of these puppies, pretty sure I have a 3rd but can't find it.
 

Really like this wagon!

Photos don't do it justice Pretty straight Escort!

Blackouts being painted next week.
 

Cheers! Hope to get some better pics soon. Haven't been to see it myself, Just had the pics sent to me

Looks great what wheels are you going to run

The 14x6 Superlites in the project thread 

Wow I put a battery in this, Started and drove it! Even washed it. Motivation is increasing...

Christ, any Lancer(LA/LB)/Colt/GTO stuff? After The biggest of feet of course lol

You pretty much need to know what your looking at to identify anything, Not really much labeling of stuff. I have no clue what your lancer stuff would look like tbh

Any more escort stuff worth saving? 5spds?

He doesn't have anything like that there, Only smaller items. If he did I would have them already

That's the one, Give him a phone or call in asap. There may be something there.

Any Whangarei folk that need some old bits needa hurry down there and have a look around. Everything is going into scrap bins.
So pay scrap prices for the bits.
Save some oldschool bits from being turned into Chinese crap!
Have grabbed a few Escort things. 

I wish I was doing it myself! Its a pro job
Cant wait to see the rest of the body done !

It's looking brilliant so far, looks like just the right shade of Brigade Red too. 

Nice work man

Thanks mate! Getting colour right was quite important to me. Car wasn't the right shade to start with. Dupont's paint database seems to have the colour pretty good. Had a sample off PPG database made and was way wrong.

Looking good!

 

Any particular reason for going with 14" wheels?

Just how they fill the guards a bit more in terms of wheel to tyre ratio. Will give them a hoon and see how I feel about them. 

Restoring the factory wheels aswell.

Lovely capri! Well done
