I found this pic from a while ago when i got the fibreglass dash parts and offered them up to see what it was going to look like... Lots of hours have gone into them since that pic was taken...

So the same process as the dash, i drew up the layout of the console and had it cut out of 3mm MDF, once finalised i had it cut out of laminate. Ford used lots of gauges and switches out of lots of vehicles for the works cars... The reverse lamp switch is out of a Jaguar and the Lucas amp gauge is from a Rover P5B coupe....

20201225_171924.thumb.jpg.49acb7f3bab0af98a77dc0c5dc8d59ac.jpgNext step was to mask off the underside and apply a few coats of stone chip to the floors as they tend to get a pretty hard time.

After allowing a few days for this to dry a few coats of Sebring Red ( which is actually orange )  body colour were added. Happy days !20210114_173912.thumb.jpg.65e35ebd0c3ffff90cd3cf4c562350cb.jpg20210114_173849.thumb.jpg.06baccd497861ed2f1a14fe01ff5a10f.jpg

Once the underside was all done it was time to come off the spit and start on turning the interior from it's original white to a more period correct satin black.20210327_120620.thumb.jpg.9ac5c4fc68c9600e277593822d0f0b84.jpg

I decided to add some convert to front panel to a "works spec" with extra cooling holes. With the added bonus of adding some lightness.. 20210425_161834.thumb.jpg.d8f7c4567b87234b0c58b8a4a1a90bb9.jpg

Another we Queens birthday weekend means more shed time and progress on the Escort. The painter came over and prepped and painted 3 good coats of high build primer.

Once the paint was dry i decided i needed to fit RS type strut top reinforcing plates ( even tho it has large plates there already ) these will be more for looks as the other plates won't be seen once the engine bay is finished.
