First Ford

[CraigB]

Hi evryone, I'm new to this forum and the wonderfull world of ford, iv just got a mk4 escort xr3i (iv always wanted one since my pre-pubesent schoolboy days, lol. But only just being able to actualy insure one!) It had to be white for me, I absolutely love this car, it drives fantasticaly with just under 60,000 miles on the clock! I'm running it on 97 octane unleaded! (Will that be a problem??) Iv got big plans for this car, the first being some urgent attention to the rear arches, the sills could do with some welding or replacing and a few small stone chips want some attention aswell, ino I'll be throwing my hard earned away on this car as I'll never be sble to sell it for what I'm planning on spending on it, would realy benifit from a full respray too, does anyone think that its worth the effort on on a relitively slow ford?? But I do realy realy realy like this car!!

Would appreciate any help/guidance with this project!!

Thanks
