tomsy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Loving this project she's looking superb its a great feeling when you get that call that your cars MOTed for another year. What a lovely line the car will be full of the sound of family laughter rather than the sound of the crusher awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf8 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Yes i spun it up last week and gave it a wax today after I fitted the areo wipers → http://db.tt/jbQCFdnU Edited July 28, 2013 by wolf8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf8 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Oh well thats it for this weekend , clutch fitted, Aero wipers fitted front and rear and a good treat of meguires , its cost me a good few quid so far but well worth it I think , next is a major service and poss wheel arches although they might have to wait as tyres really need replacement and there a bit more important which means arches might have to wait untill part 2 next year. Ive got further than I thought I would of done but the car is so easy to work on , plan is to deff get it as close to mint as I can with a few suttle mods in a 2 year span.

wolf8 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi guys its been a while been so busy with work just been getting home and crashing, but back to the escort ok had a few problems first was the rear wheel burning up due to the shoe's braking up and the linings coming off anyways while sorting that I had a good poke around underside and found it looks like both the inner and outter seals will not make another mot and im now unsure what to do I don't know where to source these parts from and im guessing cost of repair is going to be very high Your thoughts ?

SLEEMAN Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Best place to go is a proper body shop where they can do a proper decent repair on them sills, just ask either a classic restorers or proper body shops that do the jobs correctly see if they can do a deal with cash and maybe you get a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
