Postby cutch » Tue Jul 13, 2010 9:24 pm

Right thought i better start my resto thread as the car left tonight to start the fab work!
I have stole most of the story from the passionford site as it was on there.
Here goes. Enjoy.


Cant wait for tomorrow, really excited, just talked to the current owner and made the arrangements to go and pick her up. Going to be a bit of a pain but hopefully have enough guys to help get it out and onto the trailer. Wait until you see the pics of it now!

heres the only pics i have of it from about 12-13 yrs ago.
Image
Image
Image

Then the next day,

Right its been a long day but heres the story.....

Gave the camera to the wee man so he could keep track! (6 yr old son)
Image


Went to get the van, trailer and got called to come and collect the bike! Turned round and went and got my leathers....

Image
Image


Brought the bike home and had some fun on the way, trying not to blow it up again!!

Image

Went and collected the van and trailer, guy at the van rental place took his fkn time and was a doorknob but we got there in the end.

Image]
Image

Most of the stuff was ready in the car but still had to go and get the interior at calums house. Image

Had a look around before we pushed it out.
Image
Image

Pushed it out onto the street and onto the trailer.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Image
Image
Image


Took the car back to calums house to pick up the seats, was very nervous about it bouncing about on the back of that old trailer!
Image
Image


My boy! Loved the tipper!
Image


OUtside calums collecting the seats
Image


Went for a munch cos we were starving.
Image
Image


Got it home
Image
Image


And tucked away.
Image


and the bike!
Image


Photographer was bored so went to play.....we joined in shortly after!
Image


Wee man checked the seats out....
Image
Image

Image


All in all a good day, well pleased, couldnt care less about the condition its in, its my first car and i have it back, its going to get fixed properly and i cant wait to get it onto the road, most likely to have a 400 bhp 4x4 cossy stuck into it since most of it needs to be cut apart anyway.... cant wait!



Now that was nearly 4 months ago and tonight my mate turned up to pick up the escort shell to take it away to start the fabrication,

Image

The wee man and Cheryl played in the cossie and watched!

Image
Image

Trying to change gear!

Image

The escort on and nearly ready.

Image
Image

The mess round the back where it had been sitting..

Image

The wee man trying to drive the truck now!

Image

Went and picked something up from my mates, probably the last pic you will see of it out and about!!!

yeah well chuffed, might be me but it feels quicker than i bought it, maybe it was leaking when i picked it up a little, probably not, probably just cos i havent had any proper boost for a while. I take its still ok for me to pop down on sat?

Hopefully have it on the road for the end of the year, Billy (guy doing most of the fab work) seems to think he will get through the fab work quite quickly, then in for paint. Cant wait, I go away tomorrow for a 4 week trip and by the time i get back i should be able to rebuild the engine and get the beam away for powder coating etc. Hopefully have it all sitting there for him to go back on when he's finished. Then back to the lock up for building.

Well here goes, went out to see the car, not much been done to it!! I have a feeling that if it keeps going at this rate i will be puting it on a trailer and taking it down to Beefy and Carl!

Took the missus's new motor to go and see mine!

Image

And heres the escort, shot blasted and checked out.
Image
Image

The cars future owner checking it out too!
Image

Then he found the cossy with its engine and box out, ready to go and get refurbed.
Image

One dirty tunnel.
Image

And some more of the escort.
Image
Image

Image

The mess inside the cossy.
Image

Hopefully finish getting stuck into the house this week then i can go out and give him a hand next week. Hopefully give things a wee shove forward. Was wanting this finished for next time i am home.......
