Rob Evans Mk1 Escorts

 This man may be single handedly responsible for the shortage of Mk1 Escorts in the south east.

Rob has owned and restored loads of Mk1 Escorts, here are some pictures of his latest project and some previous cars he has built.

The current project is a 1968 G reg early type car, with the external bonnet realease and compression strut front suspension, he acquired this car in 2001 as a cheap "banger" from it's previous keeper, on investigation it turned out to be another of those lucky finds he has, the Floors, Chassis, Inner wings and sills are all still original rot free and immaculate!!

He is currently in the process of rubbing the floor down to bare metal while he decides what to do with this one, plans include a 2.1l pinto and 5 speed gearbox, Bilstein suspension and Mk1 RS seats, other than that he is undecided on colour and whether to fit big wings (bubble arches).

I will keep the page up to date as it progresses.
