it's been a year
 
coming back through customs:
"anything to declare?
"no just Escort bits" and start pulling out quick racks, lsd, a short shifter, and pair of side drafts complete with intake from your carry on...
 
I look forward  to seeing your shopping spree.
 

Getting a full cover of primer/sealer is a milestone. Did they do anything with the roof rear corners, tho it'll be hard to pick once painted. Ign switch is a great find as well

Great progress, she'll be in colour before you know it, then the fun bit.
Not a bad effort in tracking down a new ignition either!

Yep, nearly every dodgy dealership hacked into the main yellow accessory wire to fit alarms, intermittent wipers, radio upgrades etc.

Mine had wiper wiring and alarm both off the yellow wire on separate scotch locks and the earth was hacked into too, it was a mess. Looks all pretty now though!

Anyone headed to Small Ford Sunday?

That's moving along real fast, credits to the crash shop . I noticed the oversized air slots in the front panel, a bit different , keeping them ?

New stuff alert!! Managed to pick up two interior pieces from the same gentleman this week. Both pieces are in substantially better condition than my originals.

The dash pad is a completely original part, no cracks, only some slight surface gunk that needs cleaned off, you can see a few white marks on it from storage, I rubbed at it with just my finger and it started to come off just fine. It will look absolutely awesome when its cleaned up!
 

 
Any tips on keeping it supple would be appreciated, the old gent I bought it off seems to think rubbing vaseline onto the surface on a warm day and allowing it to absorb is the way to go but curious to hear what you all think!
 

 
The second piece is a well presenting center console, with an original clock! It also has the carrier still in place for the factory radio which I was super surprised by. 
 



 
Again any tips on giving this trim a bit of revitalization would be massively appreciated, I'm super happy with both these parts as they and want to keep them that way!
 

What a score!

I’ve found autoglyn bumper trim gel is great for blacks etc. I put it routinely on the spoiler and anything that likes it. It does attract a bit of dust if used on the exterior but once it’s worked in it keeps everything nice and sleek

I’m really picky with my products and love this. Give it a crack on your old one and see. A little bit goes a long way with that stuff.

Agree with Marty tho a dash Mat is great but if it’s just going be a weekend warrior car I think you’ll be ok.
