Luckygti

Lol, my mother in law is a scouser.......... On another note, I may have just secured a set of twin 40's..... I guess I should start a thread then?

Lol khanlad, bit tongue in cheek there. I know how lucky I am!

Yep, already got the jealousy bit!! To be fair, I wish I still had my 2 door Mk V Cortina, but my wife never liked it so have to 'make do' with this I try and keep it secure but if someone is hell bent on taking it, there's a limit to what I can do. Short of getting a big dog and a gun!!

Thanks for the warm wlecome guys, lol Mk2 Mike, as nice as an area as I live in, nope. Always garaged! I'm trying to be a bit less precious about it though so I can get more use out of it! Bit pointless otherwise. It's off the road at the moment, I'll chuck up some pictures later of why!!

Hi, thought I'd better finally sign up as I'm just getting round to doing some work on my Mk 2 Escort and I'm going to need some advice. So, been into old Fords, well forever, my first car was a 1.6GL Mk 4 Cortina (it was a 79, and was 9 years old when I got it!) and I had a string of them for the next ten years. Then a whole lot more, but branching out, and although I had Fords in that time, none would have been considered a classic! And then we picked up a Mk 2 Escort as my wife and I decided it was a good time to buy (about 5 years ago now) and we got very lucky with this. It's a fully reshelled RS2000 (into a 1.3 popular shell) running a 2.1 Burton engine and a 5 speed box. It has a few other stable mates, my VW T25 has taken most of my time recently but now it's on the road the Escort is up for a bit of a refresh. I'll have plenty of questions so standby for lots! Pete
