I'm viewing on my phone. Makes zooming rather tricky.

Plenty of Escort vans got ply lined. Just find one in the scrappy and remove the lining.

Went to scrappy today. 2 in and both didnt have lining or the heater resistor. Did get an headlamp for 20 quid though.

A new ply kit is probably the way to go unless the scrappy is charging £10-20. The guys in Bolton (van liners?) do mail order too.

Heater resistor, have you removed it yet I’ve had success in the past soldering a spade into ford ones and bodging back together if it’s not completely frazzled.


Less annoying tag line.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.
