Thanks still lots to do but doing it with my 2 sons so it’s been really enjoyable, we have lots of ideas we want to do, any advise regarding front spoiler fixings would be great would it be best with small nut n bolts or does people just use screws and adhesive

Well done with your progress, it is never ending......there is always something to be doing with a classic.

Cleaned engine bay up, replaced radiator & all water hoses painted back seat & headliner black changed headlights, removed buckets and replaced with recaro seats, put dash back together, put new carpet inside, had a nightmare trying to find the rear c pillars so ended up making my own, changed rear lights just brought new front spoiler not sure on best way to fit yet, still got lots I want to do

When I first purchased

Brilliant, well done

Just arrived back home from the epic Scenic Car Tours adventure to 35th Circuit Historique de Laon. There were over 800 cars taking part. "Cortney" performed brilliantly thanks to The Witham Group oils and fluids and has now earned a rest and some TLC. We covered just shy of 1100miles which is amazing for a 58year old Mk1 Cortina 1500GT. Very proud of her! I was spotted at Eurotunnel in France by a Mk1 Cortina member Kev Stone 🤣. Read all about the adventure in the August edition of Retro Ford Magazine and see how this is one event not to be missed by classic car drivers and passengers. The camaraderie and stunning drives through the French countryside and closed road run round Historique Laon was a dream. Big thank you to all the Scenic Car Tours team James Wickenden and Oliver Breeden for inviting me along and Abbeyfields Insurance for sorting out my cover beforehand 👍. Get booking your trip for next year, you will regret not doing it!

A man of convictions definitely! You all know how I feel about Chinese car parts!

It was a tough job but someone had to do it. Hawaiian holidays can be a bit of a bummer though!

Are you calling James a convict? 😁

Saw these on the wall in Plymouth and thought of you @Rally Pack 2000

That's a big time ouch for sure. Hope the occupants were ok

Still looks like its socialising in a paddock to me? 🤣

After 8mths off the road, Vista Estate is now back on the road and attended her first show at Scampston Steam Fair near Malton last weekend. It was a great event run by Outdoor Shows Ltd. As well as trade stands and rural displays there were classic trucks, fire engines, stationary engines and tractors along with tractor pulling which is mental ! She was joined by other Escorts to make a nice line up in the ring. Mk2 modified Escort Mk2 1600 Sport Mk3 1600i Mk3 series 1 RS Turbo. Outdoor Shows do a lot of events across the North and beyond. Check them out as attendance is free for classics (and cars too) 🤣

as above mk2 escort 2 door loom wanted preferebly for 1600 sport but base model will do cheers

welcome mate ive had a few mk1 fiestas mostly 1.3s and supersports

Welcome Steve. great colour.

That was a very lucky escape 😬

A fella I knew used to buy and sell those a lot, one was properly gone to where the starter wouldn't crank it over. All well and good until they tried to bump start it to get it moved into the garage, *clank* and gearbox oil started dripping... Not sure what happened but guessing it cracked the g/box case somehow.
