Lovely car in fine condition. I'm reminded of a Ford Anglia I saw a couple of years ago that looked superb in a two-tone colour scheme of white and pale blue. Back in the day I wouldnt have looked twice at it, but now that they are so rare it stands out from the crowd and brings back loads of great memories. I hope this Escort does the same for your son !

In between building the LB been working on the Escort with my lad. A 1.3 MK3 is unlikely to be on anyone’s bucket list but this was so tidy and deserves survivor status. It was motd when we got it and the plan is a rolling resto as LB in garage and don’t want any dust or grinding rubbish in there hence working on drive whilst weather fine. Ultimately will be stripped and fettled before sending off for paint. Wishing to keep roadworthy first thing was new shocks and springs all round coupled with new discs, pads and rear linings. Cambelt and oil changed plus service ancillaries. Ran fine. MOT now ran out so started on the only real corrosion which was lower rear qtrs and bottom of the arches. Work in progress but happy with the results.

Nice work Neil - and well worth it on so many levels - and particularly for your son ! It's a pity my daughter isnt so keen on cars !!
Agreed, great job there! But it's so long since I saw an escort I'm finding it hard to believe they actually made interiors like that!
