Johnny Boy Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi all, I'm looking for a set of steel original wheels for my 1979 SA import Escort 1600 sport.

Johnny Boy Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thanks, I'll have a look. mostly every thing is miles away from me , i'm down on the south coast. Once you factor in around £60 for a courier, they get a bit expensive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have to wait for the Motoring News or Exchange of Mart to come out every week hoping someone had what we needed 😄 Sometimes we would proper luck out when a mate wrote his RS off, or we stumbled across one in a breakers yard 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
