Thanks for your reply. That could create problems then as I only did part floor pans when I restored it and also sections of the petrol tank and spare wheel wells. I have a feeling there are other patch repairs too.

Evening all, It's looking very likely that I shall be moving to Bavaria in the summer and I really want to take my Mk1 with me. I'm looking for information regarding what the rules are for registering and running a modified Mk1 Escort in Germany and wondered if anyone on here had any experience or info. The car isn't wildly modified, 2ltr Pinto, 5 speed, lowered on Mk2 front struts and rear axle with Mk2 brakes front and rear. Any help would be gratefully received. Cheers

I might be interested in this mate, could you tell me what sump is fitted to this, is it a Mondeo one or an Escort one?

I'm up for that mate.

Here's mine mate, it fixes to the front x-member and through the rear spring monts on the chassis rails.

Thanks mate, I kinda thought that might be the case.

I've got a rear quarter panel for a 4-door mk1 escort and I'm trying to work out if it's a genuine Ford one or not. It's got this sticker on the bit next to the hole for the boot. Anyone got any ideas?

Gutted for you mate. I must say you were actually really lucky, most car fires will utterly destroy the whole car within a few minutes. I've seen plenty where they've got so hot the alloy wheels have melted to the road! My advice to all of you is to get an extinguisher, even a small one may save a cherished motor. Good luck with the assessor, you never know they might be into OSF's! And lets hope someone will take her on and give her a new lease of life.

I'll be there, round about lunchtime for the barbie.

I'll be there. Probably won't make it till around 1ish tho. (just in time for lunch )

No mate, was supposed to be working all weekend but managed to get the sunday off.

Just got your PM mate. I'm not gonna make the 17th, I'm stuck at work the wrong side of Brighton until 8pm. I'll have to catch up with you at Hellingly on the 30th

AARR Crap, I hate shift work.

Great pics mate. Gutted I couldn't make it, looks like a really good turn out. Hopefully I'll be there next month.

I took my Escort to its first show on Sunday, the Cuckoo fair. This show is between Lewes and Hailsham and really has something for everyone. There was a good showing of OSF's as well as a wide variety of classics in general, here are the pics.... And some non OSF's!
