You can try Smith & Deakin , they hold loads of Ford Escort moldings. They are based just around the corner from me.

Must admit I don't get this one - real escort mk1s dressed as Mexico's or RS2000s sell on eBay for under 10k. Can't see the price differential is big enough to want a fake one?

Having located the last few panels for this project I thought Friday would be a good day to take a break from the workshop for a few hours and go and collect some of the parts:



Bargain priced bits need a little work but will do the job:





Hung over the Mk1 MX5. A roof chop and shortening of wheelbase in the rear quarters and roof will be needed:







Fun fun fun.

True, but a 1970's low spec escort isn't much fun to drive and will need loads of TLC to keep it on the road.
