Pooley Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 Just joined the forum as last week I bought a bit of a mk1 escort.. Just a shell, more rust than metal. Literally nothing else with it apart from rusty doors not attached, the previous owner had even kindley cut the door hinges off. I'm hoping to make what I can and just gather parts and bits whilst the weathers crap and then crack on with putting it together in the summer. Ill be making a build thread on it when I get started. Need a few more parts first. So Hi! Jake 2

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted February 23, 2020 Moderator Report Posted February 23, 2020 Better than those 3D puzzles of famous ships and landmarks you get at the shops. By a piece each week and you can drive it at the end!
Admin Vista Posted February 23, 2020 Admin Report Posted February 23, 2020 Welcome to the forum. Did you get the ID with it? V5C and chassis plates?

I have to send pictures to the dvla at the end for them to release the log book as its been off the road for too long. 3 owners from new, god knows what they did to it!
notenoughtime Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 Welcome to the forum Jake, I hope you got it for reasonable money? Get some more pics up as it looks like someone has replaced a few panels already

Problem is nothing is really lined up properly and they've cut away too much of the old panels so theres gaps everywhere.
