Mk2 Escort Skyline Conversion

[Shelby 427 1965]

Hey all!

What do you get when you combine self isolation with boredom? 
 

See for yourself ;)

Far from box stock, too many modifications to list - but you can check out the build here .

All comments are very much appreciated!!

Cheers B)

Nicely done. The weathering and minor battle-damage looks excellent as well as the detail-painting on the interior! Did you modify/widen the rear-track so those rear tires would stick out from under the fenders more?

['70 Grande]

Answered my own question: I see now that the wide-track rear is a result of using the Nissan rear suspension.

Very cool.. And great photography too!

Beautiful looking build. The weathering from the road splash is done so well it's hard to tell it isn't real.

I built a '79 RAC Rally replica, I know the pleasures of the RS1800 kit all too well.  Nice job.

Nice!

That wide track at the back looks purposeful!

Awesome build, my first field car was a mk2 escort and while i'm more into vws now i would love another mk2 and im no fussy about body style

Love the weathering, wish more people would give it a shot.  I understand the tires sticking out, but a few bumps will slice and flat them.  But the most important thing, YOU FINISHED IT!

Great job on the weathering, I like the burn mark around the exhaust. pop, pop, pop!!

I can see that you had fun when building this, interesting concept and well done.
