    • Hi as a intro. I worked for two Ford dealers in Sydney NSW Australia from 78 through to mid 80'S prior to this was the kid coming in on the weekend washing/pre-delivering cars for these Ford dealers (Helps if you grandfather was one of the managers) During this time was picking up "specials" from the Sydney Homebush plant and then do the Dealer at Homebush prep area and then running in for predelivery. Mainly for Aust govt companies but also some "funnies" we would get put together. We used to pick up some cars direct from the plant, drive them 500-750km in one direction and then drive them back. So, they were delivered "Run-In". Then we would then do predelivery detail and Pickup/Drop off or trailer load the cars out. Cars/Vans/Utes/Trucks anything that ford Australia sold. My 1st Ford Drive car was a mid 79 yellow 4dr RS2000 with the Ford AVO parts in it (funny bits) and including A/C!! The car was a demo with all the Ford options ticked, it even had a tow bar. My 1st personal car was a 70 Orange Escort mk1 1300XL, then a 72 Blue Escort 1300XL with 1600 in it, then a MK2 2l Ghia, on from this was a couple of Ford Falcons, Cortinas, Lazers. Last year I have purchased a 0480 MK2 RS2000 4 Door in Orange (yes 4 Door) and 2 Months ago have a 0180 MK2 RS2000 2 Door in Red. The 4 door is complete, running with a mild cam pinto engine, extractors, Std Weber carb in it. It's a nice driving car reliable used to just putt about will cruise at 120kph. I have the matching no's engine under rebuild and pic of car attached. The 2 door is a rolling shell with matching numbers engine, Gearbox, Diff not interior ...yeap nothing ... bit of rust...it needs a full rebuild nut / bolt . I am currently gathering parts getting body prepped. Thanks for the admit .
    • Stick some sticky back plastic wood on the sides and recreate a modern take on the Cortina Mk1 woodie
    • The mounting of the FORD letter-emblem on the appropriate grille isn't compatible with that of the mounting of the oval-emblem. Different grille different mounting. FORD letters on the droopsnoot front are 4 individual letters, the FORD letters on a Mk2 flatfront grille is one unit.  
    • So it's insured again. And taxed. Test was to be tomorrow but my son needs to see a surgeon, at the same time but 2 hrs away so test got pushed back. First trip out to a local show was fun and fraught 🙄🙄🙂 First a wheel starting coming loose. A retighten sorted that. But then at the turnoff for the Show, in heavy traffic, I stalled it. This is when I discovered the battery is no good. Yah!!🖕😲😄 Was pushed off the road. Borrowed some leads for a jump start and got into the Show.  Forgot on leaving to give back the leads so I contacted the Club to get them to him. All in all it was a fun day  The car was not really ready to "show" but I wanted to get out of the house. It's getting lowered, painted and reshod over the Autumn! Cheers for reading it you made it this far.
