fair enough mate, yeah mine is fully seem welded and has the strengthing plates put in etc but mine will be used primarily for drifting. the yellow will look good mate.

Looking good Lucas. Keep the pics coming. I reckon that yellow is a top colour with those black stickers. Well done on the metalwork. Good to see

Looking forward to seeing build up photo progress on Kizza's project aswell. SR's are a ball of fun in these cars.

started on the rear of the car today very happy with how it looks under the paint no dodgey welding no rust only a small bend near the petrol tank.

Then i started on the boot but wasn't happy with some little bits of rust i found, figured that is an easy panel to get so i wont worry bout using it il get a mint one someday. After that started on the drivers side and was very happy with the arches no nasty suprises only a 5mm hole of rust so not to much welding

looking good.....what i find with Escorts is people do really substandard repairs....both my wheel archs have been slighty dented...no rust holes though so ill just "scuplt" them with bog....

how is your front valance??? my ass end is in good nick bit of surface pitting in the boot channel.
