Very lucky to walk away unscathed. I was shaken for a while, But able to work the next day to pay for it. Nothing like a little carnage to make you appreciate everything.  Fun starts tomorrow, i will keep you updated with my mission.

That's a sad sight Mark, although I must admit I did have a giggle because you can tell where the Escort's have been parked by the oil on the driveway.

My driveway looks the same - Shell have apparently lodged exploration rights on the site as they think there is a large underground oil well[88]

Seeing you dedicated to rebuild this car has given me insperation not to scrap my old rs shell. I have been deciding what to do with it for about 10 years. I will just add it to the "to do" list. I might get to it in another 10 years maybe.
gool luck with it.

Hi guy's,
Juiceman is picking up Grants oil spotting habits.
The roof hit back out without a drama, and am doing the big roof exchange today.
I will take the camera. So i can get a convertible shot.

Is a 2 door roof the same dimensions ?
The B Pillar would be further back on a 2 door, but if they are the same shape and size, then it would just be a matter of dropping it on to the top of the pillars ?
That said the C Pillar is a different shape isn't it - noting the 'gills' behind the window are different in 2 door v 4 door

I had to fool someone[:x)] Some pic's of the progress. A little bog and it will be as good as Gold.   Don't worry TY, I may even go back to Monza Red. where are my opening 1/4 windows?  A little effort finding the spot welds and using a horse shoe remover.   I have been surprised what they want for a door David. I found a good passenger one for $165[:u]

What insurance have you got Mark? that roof looks like hail damage to me.

Yes David, The Two door roof is different, Only the outer skin is the same until you get to the C pillars.
