Re: My Escort Cosworth... update 22.1.08
At least one front seat mount looks as though it could do with a bit of investigation while you're at this handy stage of stripping things back. It's amazing how little paint Ford bother with on the insides sometimes!
LOL at the harness pads!!!! :lol::lol:

Re: My Escort Cosworth... 2 new pics
ok true to my word pics massive.....
Well things have sort of change from my original plan the car went to adrenline for some work has returned for me to work some magic on it i think i'll let the pics do the talking
Then it basically all went wong i got talked into it
The car is now resting at my mates NEW bodyshop been in there new unit 2 weeks and to say the place is outstanding !!! few pics of it
the car is going to be prepped more and seam welded front few more tweeks here and there and speedlined pic under to show colour, flash does it no justice really but the colour is Very similar to IMP BLUE...
mine will be used with the usual speedliner quality but also using kevlar mixed in to make it perfect.... Giving the following results:- (but in orange)
Can't be Fcuked to write anymore i'm knackered over and out

Car looked good when I poped up Yesterday Ad. Is that the Escort in the spray booth the one that they were bubble arching for that 17year old lad the last time I was up?

Re: My Escort Cosworth...Update:- PAINT!
You must have been brave the day you decided to strip it
But it's 100% going to be perfectly fresh when it resembled, great work Ad - loving the trickery of those top mounts
