My long term project

[the_big_man]

Hello All.

 

after selling my Escort Cabby last year i really fancied another Escort but i've already most models (this will be my sixth!). I've always loved the cossie. But i can't afford a real one but did manage to find a replica. This car is in a sorry state and needs two new sills and a battery tray, interior and loads of other parts (the list is massive!). But anyways, i picked it up tuesday last week and have only so far pulled the bumper, headlights and one or two other parts off. It's currently also a 1.6 CVH but one of customers is scrapping a Mk1 Mondeo which is currently attached to an auto box. Result...just not looking forward to changing the wiring from a CVH to a zetec :\ Anyways, enough of my rabbitting on. Here is some pics of it as it stands. This will be a 2 year project to make sure everything is done right and to a high standard.

Nice, although 2 years is a long time. I reckon you would do it in less than a year.
