Popular Post Zetec Estate Posted January 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey I’m new to oldschool but want to share the entire build of my 1980 mk2 ford escort estate and thought this would be the best place to do so. We picked her up a couple of years ago so that I could have a project throughout my high school years. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetec Estate Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 After sitting for about 6 months it was time to pull her apart. The first thing on the list was the engine, it was out in a couple of hours with no major problems 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetec Estate Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 After the engine was out I thought I would have a go at taking out some interior, the plan for the day was just to take out the seats and maybe the carpet but ended up having most of the Interior stripped by the end of the day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetec Estate Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 The day had come where there was not much else to do but pull all the suspension out of wagon. It all came out pretty easily dropping the rear end first and then pulling out the front crossmember with everything still attached. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
