Who else noticed the Silver MK1 and red MK1 estate?

Tinny and thongs 😁

Im embarrassed for the nation!

I didn't realise there was an Australian version of the Chuckle Brothers!🤣

Welcome Ryan

Most Rally Packs are faked but Im reasonably confident that is a genuine one. Made very late in 1978 not early as determined by the metal airfilter assembly as most '78 models have the plastic ones. Its almost completely untouched with its radiator shroud and plennum cover all still as factory. So is all the emission control tubing. Of course he is wrong about the factory rear spoiler. The only thing that seems not original is the Carello driving lights have been replaced with others but you can see it was factory fitted driving lights by the relay location and placement under the bonnet. Never had hubcaps like he claims and most hear will recognise the stealies. Oddly most Rally Packs came with factory Globe Vollante wheels. In a way yes they were and option but most dealers offered them with the Alloys as part of the model when they ordered them from Ford so alloy wheels were more the standard than an option. Its quite rare as such to see one not optioned with it in fact. The timing belt would have been as frail and sand and they lost a few teeth while filming and why the timing when to crap while they were filming

Im very miffed about this, they think they can just walk into my yard and make a video about my car without permission! 😅

MK2 Cross member. Mk2 Hubs. Will take some pictures for you of set-up showing front if you like if it helps. Lots of people use Milton as it's more straight forward but MK2 Escort will work if things are done correctly and all geometry is correct. MK2 Engine mounts Also using MK2 Escort Quick Rack with long RS2000 Long Tie Rods so dont have to use extenders, and also have adjustable TCA's.

@Rally Pack 2000 Colloquially known as a shit box 🤣. You may have already seen this James.

Wanted as per title. Or any help to get this broken one back together; what glue or other stuff to use.

Welcome along Tam, a South African Mk5 is a cracking thing to have over here. Nice that you've gone manual too, much better to drive than the auto. Vista asked what set up problems you're having and I don't think you've come back on that yet. If you let us know what it's doing (clutch, gearbox mounts, linkage, pedals, whatever it is), someone on here will probably have been through it. Worth saying which gearbox you've fitted and what engine's in it as well, since that makes a big difference to what's likely to be wrong. Any more pics of it?

Welcome aboard. Looks like Alan Potts yard in Bonnyrigg.

Lovely MK1, best colour.

Welcome bud. Anymore pics of the Anglia, I love them. My late father had a shit load of them.

Welcome buddy. Any pics?

Welcome pal. That’s a nice looking MK1.

Well I never knew that. Yes, Sally James 🔥 She’s 76, Christ where’s the time gone.

The archive of good old fashioned websites Scott! Never would have gotten a response on Faceache LOL Well done!

18 years later? Holy thread revival Batman!

Or GingerMegs saying that their car came with them but they arent really working royals

Today Is Saturday: Watch And Smile.

Remember them well, Saturday morning Swap Shop was a must watch for this youngster back in the day, can't remember what Tiswas stood for but remember their 'Bucket of water' song around 1980!

As did I. Very T-Rex ish the opening guitar twang intro. Remember this from the show that succeeded Swap Shop? https://youtu.be/NEkB25V_ow8?is=1ujNHmBoMoA9lOT8
