Popular Post My name is Russell Posted November 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2015 Round two + a few Every picture from my old thread has now become un hosted, so I may as-well start again, just like the car. I have been a little distracted from this car to say the least. I have been doing many house renovations, taken two trips to Europe & a few Honda Owner Group projects with not much escort time in between, I tend to completely loose myself in what ever project I have going on at the time and not be capable of doing more than one project, this could actually be a good thing. I guess its driven by wallet restrictions. So it's the escorts time again. CA18DET experts . . . Come on down! LETS DO THIS!!! 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Oldschool Thought i would share other semi oldschool projects I have done for non facebook friends to help justify why so little progress has occurred on the Escort. (also many many boring house renovation ones but I won't bore you with them, retaining walls, spa pool areas, kitchen etc) I built a HOG for my partner matching her Vox Then i modified an AX100 into this Then decided I needed more space to store cool old stuff, so built a 'cool old stuff appreciation room' from recycled rimu . . . that's going to be an ongoing project Still a few things to complete. Did some stuff overseas Stalked Hayden Paddon etc and a few things in between Onto the Escort . . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Old pictures for motivation, almost every time I took it out something catastrophic seemed to occur so the aim this time round is to try avoid that. Can't remember who took what pictures sorry, Apart from this first one by our own Richard Opie AKA Snoozin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
