My first Escort
HEy guys and Girls I have finally got myself a Mk2 ford escort. Got a sedan Was looking for a coupe for ages, but one never popped up So I picked this one up I have rubbed it back already hoping to paint it in a fortnight... Can't think of what colour open to suggestions guys.. I'm thinking Flat black but then i saw in a thread i nice black and oragne two tone.... I'm on the Gold Coast and have no connections with anyone with Escorts so if anyone could hook me up with people with parts that would be great!!

I bet money it's the same car. Post a picture of the engine bay, I did it up for a mate who needed a car. I am interested in the roll cage and window glass you have.
