opps. here the front seams the whole front just looks mint a reakon cheers for looking, thats all for now, will post more az it happens,

more photos, went to the painters 2day, looking pritty good i must stay. all the seams have been filled except for ones between the frotn gaurds and the body cause they follow the lines of the doors. the hinges have also been molded with bog and filler so they look like the are one piece with the car. this is the rear seam. above the gaurd hinges, kinda hard to see will get a better foto next time im there. the front seams also been filled

just took sum photos of my brake capplipers, they are off some type of volvo, no 100% sure, but could find out. to make them fit i needed to elongate the whole and put a spacer in. should put the esky on the spot pritty nicely, haha also bought sum 15s for the esky

with the new engine i thort the orginal drums wernt cut it for brakes so me and my dad got some bmw disks machined and fitted them to mk2 escort hubs. ive got more photos of the build up intil now so ill post them wen i get the time

hey guys, ive been looking threw most of your build ups and there been sum impresive stuff so i thort id add sum of my own build in here. this is the escort sitting on the ground with the 2lt cortina sitting in it, just to see what it gonna look like, may look high in the foto but that deffently wont be the case when finished. it was then out with the engine and tym to strip it down to bare metal. then off to the panel beaters. when there the panel beater had to repair this rust spot, was the worst part of the car

thats kinda tru, altho there was a few eskys out last friday and a couple of old ke corollas and a a datto or to, so the chance is that there will be a few out is possible, yeah just hada look, that looked pritty low in the rear end, i used to rol in one of them last year for a while aye, always wonderd wot they wld look dun up, guess ill find out soon . anyway bro looking gud.
