Mr.Mk1 Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 Now im back online after so long ill let you know what the latest is.. It was only really last weekend I got a chance to work on it and in that weekend I got the bitch stripped out and half of it Bare-metalled. On closer inspection the front left Guard is pretty fucked, Past repairs and the like, but unless a good one turns up that I can stitch straight on, ill just repair it. The paint scheme has changed yet again but ill keep this under my hat for now, as it will be the only Escort youve seen sporting it and id cry if someone sprayed it before me Am back down in Otago for x-mas, but am going home early to get as much done as possible before starting work again on the 4th. Id like it in Etch before the 4th, so wish me good luck, ol' schoolers! BITS I STILL REQUIRE *Front Bumperettes *Good Round Light Grille =$30, at Max Wildermoth's being straightened and re-anodised= *Interior Switches which arent Crispy =Got a mint one for free but will buy new switches and put in place= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mk1 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hey all, Motivation lacking presently, managed to get roof and rear panel finished and into primer over the xmas holidays, blocked some more..thats about it. But I bought this mongrel beast ex hearse a fortnight ago, Keepin in bogan. Since buying ive tinted rears in 5% and fronts in 35%, sifted round the house and found 2 12's, 2 6's and a Jensen amp. Running off my flatties pioneer mp3 headdie. Goes alright. Cars all good, needs to be far lower, but all in all reliable and straight.

Mr.Mk1 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 mmm, as new restored grille. It would want to be mint for $316 and being away since december 2005! It was put in the reverse dyes, tapped up where needed, polished and re-annodised, and polished again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok, so dad and I threw together a rottisserie last Saturday, with relative easy actually, and now the Escort spins 360 as happy as a pig in mud. So I got into it and chipped off all remaining traces of underseal with a blade screwdriver, and thinners-wiped it all down, which took the layer of basecoat off, leaving a groovy Brown etch, kinda handy I guess. I left the underseal on the boot floor as ill be putting a "drop tank" in there, and the tunnel needs enlarged so its still there too. Otherwise NAKED BRIT LIVE NUDES XXX. Now I gotta buzz round and wire wheel the seams so the welds take mint, tap out a few wee dents in the floor and weld a few pinholes i discovered. Mite make up some Gussets and shit too. Talk about stoked, Ted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sigh. Underside seam welding is done. What a laborious job. There are still the front inner guards, seat runners and engine bay to do,take about an hour, but ill need to wait until the drive-train goes in for a mock-up and see what needs moved, removed and fabricated before i finish seaming. They arent ticket-exam welds, but they look pretty good, and hold on like a fat chick with a memphis meltdown. UPDATE EDIT::: Both front guards and doors are off. Looks like bugger all of a project left to go now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
