Went looking for my old Monza blue lookalike the other morning but it's gone from the driveway of the lad I sold it too, I hope he's either moved into his own house or it's in the garage!

i love a crossflow powered mk1, proper car mate, especially like the pics in classic ford, easily the nicest car on the page.

Crossflowed thats all i had to hear . Perfect !

i look at the pics quite often & the more i look at them, the more i love them

i love this car

That car is just beautiful, absolutely stunning. I'm building a mk1 RS2000 in modena green at the moment and plan to have 7x13 superlites on her, what did you have to do to get them to fit on the back and what suspension setup have you got for that stance ie: how low??

cheeRS

Scott.

Nothing mate, the 7x13's go under them perfect, standard Mexico front wings, the rear arches on a Mex are slightly rolled from the factory anyway (I've been told)

The N/S/R does catch sometimes when fully loaded, but apart from that no worries

Single leaf springs at the rear with lowering blocks and standard Mex shox up front with lowered springs

Great looking car mate

well nice mate what old skool is all about
