All cleaned up

[quote="Twins"]Ok big update time got the doors into primer today and rosso on the inside.
First job was to hang the doors mask the garage and degrease the doors.
Etch primer the bare metal.
Handles in etch primer and the plastic part in plastisicer.
First coat of primer.
More coats of primer going on.
All primered and out side guide coated.
First coat of rosso going on.
Decided to wet on wet the handles :banana:

[quote="Twins"]Thanks for all the comments :top:
Had a few other ideas in my mind for a while ,started to source some bits for these to happen,first mod is staying with the flush theme i want to change the number plate light ,i am going to use vw polo ones as these sit flat in the bumper ,will involve cutting the vw bumper into the escort one .
Perfect for my needs, one end missing cost me £5
The bumper to be modified cost me £10
Ok the next mod is a 3rd brake light in the boot lid ,going to use a bmw e36 convertable one, cut into the escort boot lid ,light will be red so it will blend in nicely.
Tracked down a mint boot for £20
Still to source a bm boot lid ,layed out with tape where the light will be cut in .
Boot will still be delocked and dewipered,
Let me know what you think,mods will still have the "factory" look.

[quote="Twins"]Small update on the bootlid.
Inside i had to weld in the inner bracket that the light will bolt in to.
The holes will be made bigger so i have some adjustment with the light as it was hard to get it in the right place and weld it.
Bare metal ready for filler ,you can just notice the weld marks from the bracket on the top of the boot.
Holes drilled ,had a bit of trouble getting the drill in the gap but the light fits perfect.
First skim over the welds filler fiberglass mix.
Thats all for now more soon ,also working on something with the wheels got the idea of a bmw i saw in a mag ,think it works well what do you think ,thanks to Sticker Paul for doing them and posting to me :clap:

thats a massive amount of hassle for some door handles
I used to be a bit of a ford escort boffin and I probably wouldnt have noticed the change at first glance.
stunning car though, keep them coming jr
