Johnny Boy Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I had a 1980 Opel Kadett 1300SR. I bought it with the Cam worn out at 18 months old. I rebuilt the engine with a high compression Modded head Kent Cam and twin 40 dcoe webers. I sold the car with out the head carbs cam, to another mechanic I knew. The same 38 year old Weber 40 dcoes , that I kept in the barn , are now on my Cortina.😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Boy Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Nice, I cant find a photo of my Kadett just now. It was a hatchback shape, but didnt have a hatchback, it had a boot. Bright yellow, with black lower and arch extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT36 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Had a silver GTE when I was 19. Nice car fair play. Actually taught my missus to drive in it. Sold it at a strong profit and bought another red Mk2 RS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra points for the make and model of my other car at the time, on the drive. Not the fiesta 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Boy Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 When you see the condition of the Escort scrap yard finds that are being restored. There wasn't that much rust in them😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browneskids Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 My old 3.0S. Probably around 1990. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accord83 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 My more door circa Jan 1977, after we’d crowbarred the drivers door off the steering wheel. A Bristol Double Decker on snow is not a thing to tangle with. Fortunately only cashflow got hurt, It was a seamed shell and I was wearing a safety belt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair because we don't have Mexicos or Mk1 RS2000s (apart from a limited batch of 25 for racing) the Mk1 category can be a bit thin on entries. It would never even get a placing in a British event I dont think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
