This looks like a sexy motor, probably rarer than a Corrado too

Make the bonnet go really rusty, put checkers on the roof and then add a roof rack with an old bike attached to it

escort now has new front discs and pads, new rear shoes and rear wheel cylinders.

cut out the arch and have got it welded in but didn't take pics of the welding yet i will get some, the welder ran out of gas after a few spots to hold arch in place.

so only pics i got are of arch prep

UPDATE:

Arch in place, i can't get the pics of just welding, but this is after a little bit of P40 over the welding.








^^^ still sanding and filling it at the moment.

then i looked at the terrible state of paint, has been washed with a brillo pad i think

pic of bonnet



after a quick polish with the polisher 50/50 shot
