    I’ve been to a Ford meet at Leyburn , North Yorkshire today  . Lots of Escorts but there was some others . Here’s a selection

    I know , not a Ford but attracting more attention than the Ferrari parked next to it , a Peugeot 309GTi .

    Thanks for looking

    Love that last pic. Thanks was my first car and in that colour! 😍. Mine never looked that tidy though! Great fun to drive.

    Looking good Ned. The only thing is I am just wondering if the two parts look too separated if that makes sense. I'm just wondering if some  bracing or some sort of structure between the nose and the rest of the body would make it look more convincing. Only my two pennies worth!

    Morning all

     

    It is done! Last few steps were an absolute pain. The door fitment is just awful... I managed to break one of the wing mirrors when fitting it and snag one of the windscreen wipers when giving it the car a final polish. 😡. I also need to be more careful when handling the body after polishing as I left a few scuffs and scratches when adding the extra body panels,etc... So those issues have been fixed as much as I dare to fix them without causing more problems! Better is the enemy of good as they say.

     

    Here's a few pics taken with my mobile so apologies for the quality... I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to get some more decent photos for the RFI post.

    Once again a big thank you to all who accompanied me on this journey. This has been a fun one and it certainly was interesting having the detail up set which I think has made some improvements especially where the grills are concerned.

     

    Thanks for looking, Nick

    I assume on the door trim you painted the whole thing black and then sanded the Aventador script to get such a neat job? - Andy 

    Good idea but no.🙂 I used Tamiya panel Line black and used enamel thinner and a thin cotton bud to tidy up the raised areas. I was a bit concerned about the thickness of the pain with respect to the thinness of the PE.
