Nice1 mate, 1st time iv seen this post with the pics of the mk2
Good to see another oldskooler on ere
Seen pics of your car on the sose, keep the pics coming

updates ?

have a look nob

not updated this in a while going further than first planned will pretty much be group 4 spec, still on the welding lots to go yet
started on the mk2 again did some sandblasting then fitted a new crossmember and repaired the drivers side a pilar and splash panel





mocked up the front end so i can weld the drip rails




painted the inner of the front panel as theres areas i wont reach when its on

been running about the summer in this just sold it to concemtrate on the mk2

Looking good Cammy - i completely forgot you had the yellow escort now, thought you still had Rab's old Fiesta. That orange mk1 looks really clean, the mk2 must be something if you got rid of the mk1 to concentrate on it.

mk1 wasnt as clean as i wanted and prefer the mk2s building this one to how I want it, rabs old xr2 went a couple of months ago ive outgrown xr2s

and your hat
