I have been on with my Escort project for about 3 years now - it should have taken a lot less time but as always other projects have got in the way!
I have just had the shell returned from the paint shop (the only work I have farmed out) so I am now going to rebuild it picture by picture for you all to comment on!
What I can not believe is that Finlay has beaten me to it - well done that man.
