FORD ESCORT RS1800 MK2

This will be my new project but not sure whether to finish like the box art and maybe add a bit of dirt or to create a barn find look.[ATTACH]297050[/ATTACH]

I like the idea of a barn find build Stuart, holes and rust every where, but either way I'll watch.

Thank you Ian for your feedback I appreciate it and I have taken it on board

I have that same kit. Watching with interest!

My first Escort had the same markings as this, back when I was a lad - when road tax and insurance were just a small inconvenience, and not the robbery they are these days ! Actually, I'm 50 now, insurance isn't too bad.

Nice start Stuart, I can just imagine a door mouse's nest stuck behind exhaust pipes.
