ford escort mark 1 shell ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've seen these shells about in lexan, but after a thorough search of the net have not been able to find a manufacterer

I'm currently restoring a real mexico, so would really like one of these as a mini project !!

Any ideas anyone

Cheers Glyn.........

I'm your man for these shells and they are 1/12 scale to fit the Mardave V12 chassis. You can have it in lexan or vac formed white abs £5.00 abs, £8.50 lexan. If you really want something impressive I can do you a 1/8 scale MK1 Escort in ABS for £15.00 which we use for Hot Rod racing but can be adapted for a 1/8 TGX chassis.

Would this body - but some chance - fit one of the M-Chassis?? I have a M03 and a M02, and I think it would look pretty awesome on it B)

If so, would you be able to ship to the US?????

Actually, I would really like to know if they fit an M-Chassis.

Daz - are these the same as the ones from Hot Rods in W-S-M?

The Escort is similar to Hot Rods one but is different.

I am not 100% sure of fitment to an M-Chassis mini but it just might fit.

No pics as yet but I am trying to have a painted version of each one as an example.

Best to mail me off the board and tell me which ones your interested in.

I have the Escort mk1 and Capri shells, I tried them on my M-02 chassis a while back but they didn't fit, unfortunately.

Daz, have you changed the mould for the Escort? Mine is the same as the one in your picture, but I've seen a different lexan one with a front spoiler on. I'd quite like a lexan one, but prefer the straight front.

It's not on the list, but is the VW Camper Van one of yours too?

Just painted this one up in metalic purple to look like a road car.

This Escort is the evolution of the flat front which I do not think we have the mould for anymore but Hotrods Southwest62 copied it and still sell with some nice decals.

The VW camper was a HPI shell and I think Hotrods do this in ABS for only £5, I used to have one on my Lunchbox and it looked superb !

HPI made the VW Combi shell in a mini size.

Probably out of production by now.
