great work dude! hey look, i am restoring and MKII escort as well, he is very similar to yours, and I was wondering what rear axle you have in your car... i have the same kit applyed to my car, but with the standart axle the rear weels are just to much inside the weel cav...
@Petghettoballer23546 yeah I thought of that in the first place, but the weel spacers would need to be too large.. But i have another thing in mind... My dad owns a ford capri MKI and he has a space axle, and I think that it is more wide than the Escort original one. I dont know if they are very similar or not, but i am looking foward to put it in my escort.. Anyway, Thanks mate, keep up the good work and upload more videos, i will be tuned in to see the development of the project.. cheers
makes me wish i could do that sort of rebuild... let us know when theres more to see!! great looking beast of a car... where about in Aus are you guys?
i have had more a mk1 and mk2 escort in my 20s and i got to say looks like you are doing a very good job bet you cant wait to have a drive when fin. all the best to boys on your mk2 5 stars from me

@drbl52 Wheel Spacers sounds like your best option. they will push out your track width and fill out those guards nicely!

@drbl52 Your options are,
Buy wheels with more negative offset
Buy wheels with same offset but wider (say 9" rims)
Fit spacers

This brings back the memories! I had a white Mk2 like this. They are so much fun to drive! That's an impressive rebuild.

i dont agree on the color. surely a madder colour would be better, but each to thier own i suppose
