Green eskie take two!

Hey guys, as some of you may know a year ago my green mk2 got written off.... Anyways long story short, the plan was to stay away from building another car for a while, but then a couple months the ol escort bug bit hard! So luckily Colin with the lime green escort panelvan, gave me a deal on a more door mk2 I couldn't say no to! It's a factory pinto 4speed car! Plans are to do something similar to my old beast, but hopefully make a lot better quality! Here's some pictures of it when I got it and what I've done so far.

    I got a mig welder to help me so I'm not too bothered by the rust! It's all gonna be a learning curve and I can't wait! Plus it's handy having a sheet metal worker as your pa to help me along the way!

    G'day Matt, old green one went to auction, I wouldn't of wanted to have that! Too much of a burden and bad memories, the car was a banana anyways, and a lot of it was rooted, front suspension was smashed up, the diff centre possible would of been good though, but the 15000 it was insured for was more valueble then a diff!

    Good luck with the 'take two' project. I've got a lot of respect for anyone preparing for a learning curve. I hadn't touched a welder until I did the RS and now I actually miss hot metal falling in my boots and the smell of burning hair 
    Second time work a charm, keep the pics coming
    Cheers Drew....
