My esky was rescued from certain death rotting in a paddock. Cancer has taken the floor, boot well and lower sills but surprisingly enough the rest is not bad. I’ve found replacement panels in the UK but had trouble with finding parts in Australia.
My first issue is the car has no compliance plate, I scratched around and found the chassis number under the paint but every decoding tool I find gives incomplete results. Is there any MK1 escort gurus here that could help?
It has no motor so I’m in the dark. Only tell tale features I can pick out easily is GT badging on the front guards and chrome rear bumper and chrome front bumperettes and a single drivers side fibreglass or plastic aerodynamic looking wing mirror.
Some info I think that is right from chassis number is it’s 1972 built in Sydney and is supposed to be a 1600 but I didn’t think 1600’s came out with GT badging in the front guards? It’s really doing my head in not knowing what I have lol. Thanks for any help!
