The more I cut the worse it gets 😅
Quite moderately rusted, not horrible. Lots of work but at least there is something to weld on. Floors are annoying when they rust from both sides. Nice to see that remaining MK 2s finally get appreciation they deserve.

Yes very annoying that they rust both side but I don’t think the shaggy carpet helped this time round other then keep the moisture in.
This car is an absolute find. And in such a good condition.

Its a very nice find, its not the best but we are getting there with it.
It really is only a LOVE project. After all the work and welding is done, and a new coat of paint, it's still only going to be 40 year old car worth $500. I hope you find the lower control arms with their balljoints intact, they are notorious for wearing out and the last time I tried to get one it took 6 months and a Small Ford Car Club member to help source one, lucky for me, he had a couple in his spares stock.. I haven't seen an Escort on the road in Australia in over 15 years ( tricked up car guy type modded ones excepted ), and 90% of wrecker's have closed now due to modern cars being made from plastic and other unrepairables, so actual parts have become rare commodities now. I'll be following along with interest on your journey's, I still love my Escorts...
Enjoyed both videos, have subscribed and am waiting for the next video

Only 10! Got to be 15 🤣
Looking half decent considering ho 0:07 w long its been sat for depending on how far the customer was to go many parts could be available through owners club or specialists unless you can fabricate repair sections ❤

It’s not too bad but bad enough , it’s most certainly doable , i have also got new floor pans for it, and rest I have fabricated on it
this isn't all that bad, the vans and the estates were renowned for the rear ends rotting out fast.
