Yes, they are getting thin in the ground and prices aren't dropping as the rarity is starting to creep in. I reckon mine will be saved as no significant damage was sustained. I'm driving my silver mk1 Focus ST170 clone (minus the engine)and it's so much fun to drive.
I remember when mk1 and mk2 escorts weren't worth 3 months rego or the battery under the bonnet, so many ended in wreckers because of that.
Also remember pulling a mk2 from a wrecker for only $90 back in 1998, later finding it was a one of those mega rare Escapees after rubbing back the green resprayed top coat and finding the faded remnants of the red and yellow stripes along the flanks.

Back to the present day, I managed to get the drain tubes connected to the sunroof front outlets, running them down the pillars and drilled a hole just in front of the door hinge strength plates, I bought connectors for an Audi sunroof drain at the sills, sort of a glorified grommet. I still need to plumb in the rear pipes and holesaw the inner C pillar for the path the pipe needs to drain without sharp corners. At the bottom end of the pipe I'll run them out at the front side of the rear inner wheel tub, if that makes sense, there'll be less stones/water/mud etc to cause blockages. Think it's time to design tpu grommets to stop the tubes getting rubbed and tearing.

Spent a little bit more time on the car this rvo doing the sunroof pipes to complete that job.
This is the little outlet I was talking about last time

This pic is where the front pipes exit

The rear pipe goes down inside the C pillar to the front of the rear wheel tub as seen here

I had these new door light/courtesy buttons from some eBay store, and luckily the pillar hole was the right size and all I needed to do was drill a hole for the mounting screw

I dont know Marty if I put a gasket in there or not?
You have me thinking now.

Good morning viewer
I had found a few control boxes for the central locking, infact I have 5x of them, maybe got them on a bundle deal a long time ago. So on to the wiring method I have worked out is a bit strange but works perfectly fine
This is the way I've worked out the wiring map, the red power wire is bridged to the 2x yellow wires like this

Black/ground wire is bridged to the 2x orange wires

The solenoid wires are then the 2x white wires so simply join the two solenoid wires to these two and bridge for the other side/ and rear for those with a more door.

The extra wires are optionals , the two browns are for indicators to flash when lock unlock , the blue is boot release and the green is to wind up electric windows tho I'll see if will work on my sunroof , will see if it's compatible.
I'll draw a proper diagram for future reference

An Escort that remotely closes or opens all windows, and sunroof will be pretty cool at a car show.
Then take it further with the under floor boot release, with gas lifting struts too of course.
 
Hey, if Dr Who can have doik doik rematore on the Tardis, MK1 Escort should be fair game.
