Brave man. I had a Mk2 in early 90's. Loved it. Was only a 1300 but it was entertaining- especially in snow. Would love another. Enjoyed watching your methodical approach to this shell.

That won’t threaten a magnet much. I think it would be easier to start with that new Floorplan and build a new car around it. 😂 . You can’t argue this boy likes a challenge. This looks well produced and I look forward to following the journey. Good luck fella. 👍🤞

Fair play to you to restore the escort your brave hope you're good with a mig welder as you need to be as all old fords rot I've done plenty of fords over 25 years of welding experience keep the videos coming be interesting I would make a jig up so you can turn the car over to do all the prep work and welding good luck was a good price for it as they are not cheap to get but you need a Capri for other parts don't matter wat the body is like engine gearbox front struts back axle things like that to use on the escort just a idea

I travelled round Australia in a 1976 Ford Escort in 1996. I was working as a mechanic in Sydney. It was rust free and I paid $750 AU dollars for it. I cannot fathom why anyone would spend £3000 on a basket case of a car ,that when finished , even to as new condition,is an un-inspiring car to drive. This fascination with mk 1 and mk2 escorts is staggering . All I can say is well sold that man. I’ll carry on with my mk2 Jag that I paid £1500 for.
