HI everyone. I'm lucky enough to have to come into possession of a Escort Mk.III XR3i Cabriolet (working out the year...) and, whilst in not half bad condition for something sitting still since 2004, she's in desperate need of re work. I'm 17 and doing this rework with my stepfather - the actual owner of the car - and we (rather thankfully) run a fixauto garage. Expecting a lot of rust, rot and general mess, I'm intending to have a relatively clean and running Mk.III at some point in the future. And this is where it starts.
I'd be extremely grateful for any number of contacts on parts suppliers for this vehicle, breakages etc. I know already there's numerous pieces to replace and hunt down, including the odd stuff such as window seals. I'll be getting some photos up real soon so those very experienced on escorts can help me judge if I'm already wasting my time. This is just a short introduction to a hopefully long process so I hope you'll join me along the way.
Thanks
Cattro
