hey , so I've decide to start working on my 77 ford escort panel van after her sitting in my shed for the last 5+ years.

tonight I stripped the sump off and also pulled off the clutch setup and flywheel.

i don't know where the motivation has come from ..

(my wife doesn't know either)

I'm not sure what this sump is off ,.if its 13 or 16.

Here's some pictures so far.

Solo today was the perfect day outside to start pulling the drivers side wing panel off. I have brought parts for my brake rebuild but havnt started reassembling them yet. 

Have been thinking about sidedrafts also , whether to fit them or just run weber carb. I'm a big fan of dropping down the brake booster by lowering the mountain holes on it but will stick to normal carbs for now.

Anyhow I drilled out all the spot welds with a 6mm spotweld drill bit to find it hadn't done the job properly so I ended up using the 8mm spotweld drill bit and a lot happier with that.

Got all the spot welds drilled out and started to peel the pannel away from the frame , ran out of time as was working on the eskie while baby was asleep and guess what... She woke up before I had it off completely. 

I'm not sure how the guard is joined onto the front bumper/panel as looks solid as...any ideas?

Sorry bout all the babbling , was a solid hour and a half in the shed and was enjoyable. Anyway here's some pics....
