Ooh nice, I do love a mk2.

[@mddaly6082]

Loving the Mk1. Only version of the escort I haven't owned (yet). I think you'll do it under budget but I think you'll be pushed for time (1/4 of your two months is gone on blasting; couldn't you get it back to work on the roof, etc. and drop it in when they are ready for it?).

[@ODDAutos]

Yes they are always busy blasting. Didn’t want to do the roof incase they catch it and it gets warped. Hopefully be back soon.

[@paulsmith6074]

Great keep the vids going guys good luck.

[@ODDAutos]

Ahh brilliant, cheers buddy. 👍👍

[@theoriginalwallace]

Sorry to tell you Paul, it's not a '68 shell. They have a protruding fuel cap with only a slight recess in the quarter panel. Also, the door handles should have the lock in the button with no extra hole below & different latch mechanisms. Plus the '68-'69 shells had rubber mounted compression struts. Obviously reshelled at some point in it's life. Looking forward to the build... you'll nail it though! Cheers. Leigh.

Ahh might be then, looks like it’s had a bit of a hard life up till now. Got the original old logbook with it too and a load of paperwork which was great.
