Lukey48screamer Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 (Double posted in the escorts forum too) OK, bit of a strange one but can anyone tell me if they know of someone or have themselves somehow replaced a pair of inner wings or complete strut tops from bulkhead right across to slam panel without removing their outer wings?... The fella who owned my car before has made a complete hash of repairing the engine bay and I never realised just how untidy it was until after I payed out top wedge for having the bodywork and paint done. Im in the process of an engine swap so now is the real time to have a go at restoring the mess. Only thing is, like I say the car has been painted and the front wings are on DEAD straight-all the gaps are bang on and I am not keen to go and f**k that up aswell. I myself cannot weld so if anyone has any suggestions or knows of anyone keen on osf's or more precisely escorts who is genuinely GOOD with a welder please let me know, any help will be most appreciated guys and gals - cheers Here is a pic I found on the almighty web, to give you some idea...

Lukey48screamer Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 Fookin london mate... Be a bit far to drag the escort but thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated
Mk 1 Mark Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Wayne and kev at WPE can do that in croydon Or Darren and Mark @ escort Tech both know there stuff and have done this sort of work loads of times
brad Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 if your going that far , why dont u just space frame it ?
Lukey48screamer Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 Wanna maintain a traditional escort bay to be honest mate, I suppose what Im after is a complete strut top replacement that extends a bit further down the inner wings.. its seems fairly simple to me apart from the turrets that join underrneath - it can be a bit tricky to get any solid answers from old wayne if you know what I mean
