My unit looked a little bit like that when I had the coupe shell and thought about making Betty road legal. The bagging and tagging soon went out of the window

Best of luck with the Escort mate. A slow burn this one then?

its always a good idea to bag n tag stuff cuz if you lose parts for these old cars there expensive to replace, top man.

from the look front end there is not much rust, how is there rest of the car?

is that also your mk4 escort that a can see?
