Hello Lee, (probably because my second-ever car was a Mk1 bubble Arch 1600 x-flow back in 1973) the Mk1 s are my absolute favourite looking Escort. Mine was originally a modified 1300GT in lime green with a Lotus green side stripe but otherwise a fairly basic conversion. Your car ( along with Craig’s) in my humble opinion, are probably currently the very best and most beautiful Mk1s in the whole of the U.K. -Bless you mate and thanks for sharing your joy with us! 🙏
Thanks very much Phil , I don't know about being one of the best , I just built it for me & I'm really happy with the build so far. Thanks very much for your positive comments though - it's much appreciated 👍
What a way to start the week! Thanks for the post Lee - You have set the bar so high this build, it now affecting the quality of my sleep dammit ! Jokes aside - well done and really looking forward to the next update.
Top class build. Love the attention to detail.. I've found the "chrome" window insert starts cracking after a while on the bends, not the actual plastic but the chrome foil inside the trim.
I agree about the over priced 50 year old switches Lee it’s a total con and waist of money .theres such a lot of thought gone into this build it’s gonna be a really really special one off car . You don’t find many cars rebuilt to this standard and attention that’s for sure , super top job fella 👍
If you have to replace the windows again go on line a purchase a pair of suction shower handles then you can use them to place a manipulate the glass with ease I build a Ford Pop & that’s what I used
Amazing build Lee. Love the fine attention to detail, def no slog job here. Noted the poor fitment of the front grill, obviously not on you, but are they always like that?
It's a '70's mass produced Ford - they were never great 😖. Mine is actually pretty good , from some angles the reflections make it look worse than it actually is !
As I keep saying this is the best escort build out there!! The attention to detail is next level!!! It has been so well thought through and built!!! Love the detail in the interior and the centre console looks amazing and love the fact you have a fag lighter in it!!!! Mate this is the stuff dreams are made of. Mate this car is totally amazing and I would be scared to think how much this has cost you!! Best mk1 escort cosworth there is!!! You ain’t building anything better than this!!can’t wait for the start up and all the magazine features that will come. Mate you’re a total legend and if I ever win the lottery I am coming to you. If you won’t sell it I am getting you to build me one!!!!!🤣👍🏻keep up the amazing work mate your nearly there!!!!!BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!

i get the feeling the first words you say to new people you meet is gonna be "It's not for sale".
Lol 😆 - you may be right - and it's definitely NOT FOR SALE 😎
