Many thanks guys. Only got the Escort back home last night so not many pics of it. Just took a couple now and some yesterday when it was being inspected.
Upshot is a local family owned this car for many, many years, it underwent complete nut and bolt restoration 5 years ago and received a 2.1 all steel high spec engine at the same time, which is not yet run in. It then stood in same spot until last week.
A folly really, I'm going through the huge file now and so far have totted up 21,100 pound in bills would you believe. I have a lot of trim to put back in and need to remove a full cage they fitted for some unknown reason, but it should be super when done. I bought it because of its condition, underside defies belief.
Many thanks again.
