there are so many decent supporting people of the escort its great too see people liking the car its made my day well year

ispent a full day wet flatting it the preparation b4 hand i went sick on it i welded the rear end an brazed the panels because there was a feeling of too much perfection like teaching your child giving support to her or him all my life i have wanted to work on this mental piece of machinery
but?
ive done max power cars revs even a few classic ford ones even them stupid old mercs classics coming out of my ass
loads jus lost count i have done everything when i got into the car i was faffing like norris off corantion street stutters?

then i realised?

i have been body work on cars for gone ten years now

TREAT IT LIKE A NORMAL JOB

after doing that i realised my skills where put into practice only thing i have left is the windscreen scuttle panel an the great peter thurston desgined sr 71 blackbird wings on the side after that ill be lookin at youre cars not mine at classic ford iam not there too show off mine
just to be in the place where see better hmsa's modified madness event even closer classic ford day ajust cant wait

i aint drove it yet hhahaahha

hey mate
- I dont really give a st about the grammar and punctuation!
Especially when you are posting stuff about the work you've done on your Escort!!! smile It's Fantastic and most importantly thanks for sharing!

I can spell ok and write to a reasonable standard... but there's no bloody way I could do what you have done to that car.

Keep it coming PLEASE!!!!!! Amazing skills!
