These are the seats from my mexico when i was stripping it down for its restoration.They do fade but i would say it fades more grey than blue. There are many variations of the repro beta cloth being used.Some of it like yours does have a blue tint to it. Luckily i managed to secure a roll of genuine ford beta cloth that had been carefully stored for over 30 years and i had my seats retrimmed with it.I think you can see the difference in the pics below.

The cars on the stand were simply stunning.Well done

Has anybody successfully tuned a 1600 pinto I wonder?

His house looks nice though.

You will need details of the reg to know if it is known to the club.

I have a SIP mig and struggled for years with the rollers inside slipping on the wire when feeding.(yes i did know that the roller was reversibile for 0.6 or 0.8 wire)..I use 0.8 in it now and it works perfectly and is good for car bodywork.My biggest variable has been the type of gas(in disposable bottle) that i have used.

I will be coming to AVO day Tim.I am really looking forward to it.

Thanks for the warm welcome chaps.Obviously everything has its price and you wouldn't be the first to make a large offer for it, but its not really my intention to sell the mexico.I have posted the photos as an introduction of myself to you lot rather than as a way of touting my car. As i said i really want a trackday mk2 2 next...

In 1989 an uninsured driver crashed into my lovely 2.8i capri in a stinky old montego.I was paid out by the M.I.B but it took 2 years.I also had to go to court to help prosecute the div for driving without due care.It left me out of pocket big time in the short term and i ended up running an 80 quid Polo in the interim.I really do hope it works out for you.

No sorry.The mex is definitely a keeper!..I don't think there can be many barnfinds like that left...I am looking for something as well as the mex.

Hi. My name is Adrian and i am from lancashire.I have owned many mk1 and mk2 Escorts,but back in the 80's. I have recently restored a mk2 mexico. It had been laid up for 21 years.This is how it looked in its long term storage. ....and here it is now I did really enjoy doing that car but now fancy another mk2 that i can use and abuse for trackdays etc.So i am now looking for a scruffy old mk2 rally car that needs a bit of love! I really am a glutton for punishment.
