Good, I hate Ford purists. They are the most boring and embarrassing lot of people.

More fool you. Don't get a stick up your backside over the manufacturer of an engine.
Particularly when it's something a lot nicer than a cast iron Pinto.

Haha, I'm only joking - looking forward to seeing the progress. Good Pintos are expensive anyway these days, even Finding old Sierras as donors is hard which is why Westfield have migrated to MX5s for their donor vehicles.

Car set at ride height..

Got a photo shoot Wednesday then car will be stripped for paint.. which I started doing before I had a phone call and had to put it back together! LOL

Nothing really exciting to post, finished off all the fab work, little bits of welding work which needed doing. Stripped car apart, Raptor Painted underside of it and sent it off for paint!

Its gone to PARC Garage in Pontypridd who have a massive history with MK2 Escorts so I know its in good hands

looks at signature....

i do get why some get upset. its kinda part of its heritage. also they are getting rarer nowdays..so many want them original. or atleast fords in a ford. sometimes you just have to make do. or for finanical reasons. i bet if you asked most in here there would be numerous different answers or replies to what they would use. cost obviously is a big part of how that plays out.

que?

I'm sure my hybridised Toyota/BMW logo and the fact I own a BMW and a Volvo listed underneath while posting in a Ford thread on a computer forum means I'm a purist...

MrKnifey · 22 Jan 2020 at 07:33

Been super busy, not the best pictures... but may I present.. the beige bomber

vanpeebles · 22 Jan 2020 at 08:15

At least you got the colour right

Temujin · 22 Jan 2020 at 08:26

Is that beige? Pictures make it look like the old english white / cream colour.

I think it looks peng, as the hoodlums would say!

MrKnifey · 22 Jan 2020 at 10:18

The light in the unit makes it look creamy

MrKnifey · 10 Apr 2020 at 18:19

Sorry for lack of updates, didnt do anything to it at all until COVID 19 put a stop to my work, so been working on this instead. Ive taken loads of other photos, but here is how it sits at the moment

Maundie · 10 Apr 2020 at 20:38

Looks mint, really good job

Temujin · 10 Apr 2020 at 21:39

Mmm Condensed milk... Looks great!
