BaileyMex Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 Hi all, Anyone got any hints tips or experience in changing the whole front panel on a MK1 Escort, Gonna bite the bullet and get it done, does it come of relatively easily?
flyingbanana Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 they come off easy enough......its tacked on down each side of rad supports/inner wing behind the panel and on the slam panel and obv the wing has well

james1700 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 you can colin, but you have to be careful, cut the bulk of the front panel off and then carefully drill/cut/grind the joint to the wing away!

BaileyMex Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Posted April 11, 2010 Anytime you want Col 2 sugars Are you refering to the tea or letting you show me your angle grinding skills?

Sounds like something i'd do I didnt realise it had got that bad until I got it out to take it to boxhill, the last time it saw daylight was at that Crawley show last year
Tom Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 Then you started poking and exactly 37 seconds later there's a hole the size of your head in the panel. Been there - today
