Ford Escort SunDowner
I am dismantling a Sundowner, I will be cutting section of the body to keep in stock but first is there any part of the body or other any one has been hunting for, I've had a fair bit of it on ebay of late.

g'day mate,
I'm looking to convert my early mk1 rear shocks to the more upright mk2 style and need the shock mounting panel cut out of another body. Firstly i'm not 100% sure if the sundowner floorpan/shock area is the same as the sedans/coupes, don't spose you can comment on that one? and are you willing to cut out that part of the body? if so give me a PM.
Cheers,
Llewellyn

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear. HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

hi mate, were the rear door bubble windows ive just won of you from this van? is the full roof lining in good condition? would you sell that as well including the bows and all screws that needed for the lining,
ill still would take it even if its ripped so i could get a upholster to make a new one copping the original pattern

Hey Griezy,
yep from this car, the headlining is complete with ribs and all,I took it out very carefully and I was going to send to Aldridge in the UK to get one made , I have had (3) headlinings done in Australia for my escorts and they were like coming out of a cheap swet shop, crap.
so do you know a legend trimmer that won't stuff up?

hey mate, if i could just find any full roof lining with all hardware i would be happy, at least it would be a start, i did find a place that had a few escort full linings in minto (smallfords) i think they are called, went there over 6 months ago and they said they would get back to me when they got it out of one of their cars, never got back, I've emailed them three times since but never replied, (great way to do business) im originally from campbelltown so i did have a place that did a great job on my 1954 FJ Ute i had, near narellan (G-Trim) but when i went there a few months ago they were not there anymore, not sure if they closed or moved again. i was going to try TQ Motor trimming in campbelltown, been there a few times with my old monaro, they do a alright job but not top show jobs or i was going to try ABX Trim in kelso near bathurst, much closer to me, but cant say how good they are as i never been there before, or another thought if the place in uk do a top job, would you consider getting two made up, may get a discount the more you order but i still need the hardware for it cheers

I have not heard it running however the guy I got it off offered to drive it out of his yard but it was winched out to be easy,
I am not going to say it runs and now its out of the car and personally I would not even of tried to start it.
Common sense would be to pull it down and freshen up or to inspect.

Regarding the headlining, I too could do with one for my Sundowner so we could get a few made up possibly? I live in the UK so I could sort things out this end for you guys? PS: The van looks too good to scrap :-D
