Default kiwi mk 1 escort rebuild

Hi All
I am building a couple of MK1 escorts. they will both be bubble arched rs replicas I purchased the first one a while ago and have done a lot of work on her but she needed a new front ( A pillar forward) so i started looking for a donor car and found a shell that is in far better nick so I am building that one instead. She will be powered by a 2 litre Pinto through a type 9 5 speed into a LSD equipped English axled rear ( at this stage I may go atlas or hilux yet) 2 linked rear end road/ track/ rally car. I just want to do what ever I feel like when I feel like it. This will not be a show car but will hopefully look great any way. I am running a blog on both builds which you can see at http://mk1escortrebuild.blogspot.com/.
I welcome any comments and critics and questions I am not a pro at this and am pretty much learning as I go and almost any/everything I do will be on the blog
Regards for now Peter
