As sad as excuse as it is im using it and sticking to it i got my mk1 escort in about march this year after waiting for 9 months for the bloke to give me a price as he said straight away he did'nt want it ! So i got it home and washed it from green it became white( bloody trees ) and i then checked the plate against my book to find that the white should have been blue mink ! the chap who i got it from looked after it for the lady who owned it and when she passed on her sister garaged it for 8 years then gave it to him he never knew it other than white so this is where my problem started do i go blue or white as it once was or as i liked it, then the wheels , the engine,the seats, the bumpers and so on ? I gave up about 2 weeks ago and its gone in for the sills and full floor pans which is all that let it down on the mot so then im going to drive it and wash it until i can decide which route to take then i will post more as i may have more to share and questions to ask as im amazed at the fast helpful response to my first post thanks darren
