Had the pleasure of having this escort mexico in for a refresh, not been used by the owner for a bit and was last put away covered in crap( i get all the best jobs). This car had spent 30 years off the road till 2009 where it re- apered and has only covered a genuine 28k

It was in for a single stage machine polish and a whole lot of polishing including the underside engine bay in boot and door shuts plus other odd jobs, I also fitted the original style dealer stickers and tax disk holder hope you enjoy as much as i have had doing it.

Another awesome motor.
I love your threads!!!

 

Excellent results!

 

top job as always guys, always wanted a mexico

 

I have warm feeling in my under pants....

Great jop, great car!!

 

Is it not a bit dodgy being under the car with just a jack though?

 

Holy Moses! If the queen gave out detailing honours...

Top work mate, so nice to see these old and forgotten cars come out of the barns and sheds to be used again!

 

thanks i only try and post things of real interest on here

you and me both

yes my axle stands have been borrowed


thanks lads

 

absolutely beautiful. if i had a hat sir, i would take it off. looks better than showroom condition. how long would a job like that take.

dave

 

epic.... that will be all!

 

Took 24 hours or thereabouts. Two ten hour days and an afternoon.

 

Love these threads. Please keep them coming!

 

Awsome job

 

time capsule stuff that!!

looks like i imagine it would have when it was at the dealers

 

Fantastic work fella, must be one of the best Mexico's in the country!

How much do you charge for a job like that?

 

awsome mate have a real soft spot for these

 

Have a hard spot for these too!

 

I had a flat front RS2000 which I used for Road Rallies in the early 1980s.

Seeing that mkII Mexico brought back memories, especially of how simple the engineering was compared to todays cars.

 

Great work!

 

I know its the wrong place to say it, but Id rather own that than a 600 bhp Scooby.

You must have some patience fella, just wash a car and Im bored! Nice work bud!

 

i think most people have

lol

thanks makes it all worth while when the customer is happy

thanks craig
