Speed Restored • View topic - ---T Peacey 2 Door Project---
Ok so this is the start of my project I bought this shell from Damion off this forum, Good Bloke!
What i hope to achieve by the end of this is an escort that is restored completely back to bare steel. I would have to build a nice simple roll over jig to get at the floors and arches
This will be a slow project so i dont go broke Im thinking possibly a duratec conversion with wcxm and a 5 speed type 9 with clubman gear kit , group 4 flares etc would also be good.
I would love to get rid of the rear leaf setup so i can fit some more modern suspension, turrets etc.
Anyway here's some pics, ive started hittin the shell with paint stripper
Now i just have to stay motivated and concentrate on the shell first

Front panel scares me a bit, So may have to source a new one yet! Welding anyone?

The inside looks quite good, Floors will need to be bare metalled, Seems surface rusty but still solid

The day she arrived, Had to get her through a pair of narrow gates to sit under cover (10 point turn!)
You may notice the welds near the LH side of the gutter. Its deinately a softer metal! Also notice the lip where the glass rubber goes. Some crazy welidng going on there!

A little further, You may notice the black spots. Its the bottom layer of paint. Im quite sure most new panels are covered in that black primer? Hard to get off! Steel wool makes it easier!

This panel looks like it has been replaced before. Had a full thick coat of spray putty. Lots of scraping!
Pulled the front off the heater box, And cleaned and painted it. Also fully stripped apart motor cleaned all contacts and re-oiled. It now spins much more freely. Made up a new power lead too.

Nearly got the door done (well the outside of it) Had to sand the bare steel a bit to remove some surface rust afterwards.
