Posted this up in the showroom already, but what the fuck.
Built in 48 hours, this is the short videographic tale of my friend's '78 Mk2 Ford Escort 4-door 1300 Ghia.
We did front end paint, undersealing and chassis component stripping/painting, rolled the rear arches, fitted Gaz coilovers and Hi-Spec 4-pot front brakes up front, 3" lowering blocks and Gaz shocks out back, chucked in a freshly rebuilt 1600cc X-flow (originally 1300) and last but not least, 13x8 Minilites with 175/50 Yokohamas stretched over them.
The result as it sat on the ground for the first time? Credit card arch clearance up front and 10mm from the exhaust to the floor.
Here's the video of our build:
