Plans are to get it to standard spec. Can't afford concourse but should be close tho. Don't see many about that have not been modded the plan is to have it welded up and all the mechanical checked and Motd by June then get it painted by August. That's the plan but money is tight so doing as much as I can when u can. It's not a case of handing it over with a blank cheque and saying get on with it. There is a budget, tho I recon I will blow it

Had a friend started to restore one of these back in the day but then found out he could not get classic insurance for it (probably different now) . He welded solid for 6 months and I had never seen a car with rust on the roof to that extent! Nice that this one is your dads as it is always worth doing when there is a personal connection. I fixed my dad's old Tilly lamp for more than I could buy a second hand one!
Tilly lamp, tilly lamp! 😂
I did all the body work repairs, primed and painted my mk1 Escort (two tone Daytona yellow and black) under 1 fluorescent light and six 'Tilly lamps'.
1980 was that, what great memories I have now from that time, but ask me then in winter when I can't feel most of my body I'd have given you a completely different answer!
So cold I'd lost the powers of speech. 😉 👍🏼

Weirdly it's still on its original sills. If you sit near a Mk1 or Mk2 Escort on a quiet, still night, you can hear the damn things rust.

I’m also finding it very difficult to undo bolts as most have seized up. Trying removing the fuel tank earlier managed to remove bottom fuel line with out breaking any thing then removed the breather and the tank holding bolts. Then realised I need to undo 3 screws behind the filler cap which I don’t have the key for so my poor dad has to search his house for a key he hasn’t used in 20 years
