No worries could have trailered the Mk3 for you but hey if you and the family are going for a weekend so be it!
RS1800's cheap Hmm I'll have an ask around and let you know chap
What come's next? who care's, why worry about things over which you have no control. Freedom is a voyage of discovery with all the enjoyment of seeing things and experiencing events for the first time. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Looking like its progessing matey and at least that floor looks solid. I took the carpet out of mine today to replace it with a black item..... took a quick peak under the underlay and quickly put it back down, it was too painful.

f**k, sorry to hear that matey
i'm lucky cos the 2 previous owners to me both kept the car in a heated garage, so that why my body work and chassis is so fudgekin clean...
are you changing the black sill trims by any chance too?? i'm putting black MK3 carpet in mine, but want the sill trims to match, tried fitting MK3.5 trims but they dont fit

The body looks really good on that Orion! Please tell me it's not, or I'll be wanting that
That pick up looks soooooooo funky though, can't beat the MK3 Escort shape

UPDATE 2:
PICK UP GETS STRIPPED :
gave the orders on friday night for my cousin to take a closer look at a few things on the pick up... here's what un-folded...
her she is at the start of the day..
and under the bonnet..
inside the cab
some work to do here
out in the open
some pics of the bed... more work
a few more shots
from behind
love the cab rear window...
not a good shot of the head lining
another shot the window
from the front
looking at the bed
he said there was alot of stuff in the bed
everything in this water tank can from it
rear quarters are not the right length.. and need to be made bigger
arches dont fit properly
dont like the bumper..
at this point i got a phone call and an email with all the pics from above...
so told him to take the bumper off
looks alot better
cab starting to empty
on closer inspection with the bodykit not fitting he wanted to pull the kit off...
which i'm glad he did cos it hides alot
rotten sills..
and rear arch isn't to clever either..
was gutted when he phoned me to tell me the above, but s**t happens, so now we decided to obviously pull all the kit off and start from scratch to see what i have....
and guess what.. bodykit hide more rotten sills
dash out and loom closely behind
lights out, quarters off..
front bib off
all of the loom out
one escort bantam pick up loom...
and thats how far he got... last few pictures tell a different story from the first, were the pick up only needed 'finishing off'...
nevermind.. i'm determined to make this pick up perfect from top to bottom!! everything done properly as it should've been..
wish i could be there to help, but my back is improving, so hopefully soon i'll be there to help..
hope you like the updates...
cheers for looking, rich
