Hey all,
Just brought a little 1976 escort panel van and I am looking for any links to good documented builds/restorations online? to help me through my first project. I have been reading a lot, but never hurts to ask around if anyone has a good resource or any advise really, I would be stoked.

Excellent. Im restoring a Mk 2 van as well....Well its almost done. Bought it with rebuilt running gear and rust repaired. Just needs reAssembling and a blow over with the paint gun.
I have tonnes of photos from the previous owner of the work done.
Will be starting up a Facebook page with my projects soon as I find it difficult to post pics on this site.

Awesome, I am not on Facebook yet (I have been living under a rock for the past ten years) but this would be a good reason to start up. I am just getting my workshop set up and then I will start posting some photos here as I get started.

Cheers
