I would say you could slam this down by 50mm and be ok with clearance issues and it would look so much better than the current stance. That's my opinion though!

Hello LolHare That's amazing to hear from someone that previously owned my car. Do you have any pictures you can post? I will be up your way at some point this year at a local car show, you might like to come and reminisce! I would certainly like to hear some stories about it. I have a few questions i'd like answering as well.

I 100% agree to that. It is an awesome weekend and if anyone has never been before, you have to go.

Out of Santa Pod and Mallory Park, I preferred Santa pod. I did quite enjoy the 'live action' part of the event at both sites, as it gives an alternative to just looking at cars and if you wish to get involved you can, that said I like nothing more than mooching around a field all day talking about cars! I think a north and south event would encourage different people to go and they should DEFINITELY make them pre 90's only.

Wow, they are £172.80 Colin, and that's without postage, which they won't say how much until you have placed an order. Do you want me to order them?

So good you told us twice!!

Hello Colin I am, do you have the part number, or can I not go wrong?

I'm up for a meet up. a pub car park sounds good, but I wouldn't advise on Basvegas!

Same for me. I used to get told who had reacted, but now I just get "somebody"

I completely understand that you only really learn by making mistakes, but I'd rather not give someone incorrect advice, but it is good to offer up your thoughts and it is what keeps forums going. Next time someone wants an engine rebuild, i'll be there🤣

Ha. ha!! Since buying it I have only taken it the NEC, so I haven't got any new pictures but here's one from there.

I completely agree with Vista in that advice is difficult to give if you're not confident on the answer being correct. I would love to chip in a bit more, but am not that experienced with the mechanical side so tend not to.

I thought I'd take a picture of an old 13" wheel with 185/70 tyres on next to a Porsche wheel 19" 295/30. In the flesh the difference is huuuuge! I measured the discs on the Porsche and they are bigger than the escort wheel!

Are you going to put it on the road, or keep it as a rally car? I think with the history that you have, especially the pictures, you should keep it as close to how it was, but on the other hand if it is going to be a rally car then it needs bubble arches!

Hello Dave, I think you've been spending too much time with Ray if you think you still need to make it better🤣

Wow, your car is looking soooo nice. I must have missed this back in October but well done for all the hard graft, it has definitely paid off. I am pleased to hear you didn't listen to the "keep driving it, it's fine" brigade.

I didn't think about that! I thought it was a new garage rather than an extension.

I take it that you aren't housing a car in there as there is no door?

As if American cars aren't wide enough already! That is a beast.

I got a mk1 cortina pre aeroflow front grille that had sat in some ones loft for 30 years in immaculate condition for £160.00. I'm not sure if that's a bargain, but for the condition of it i'm really pleased.

That dash was amazing and so adaptable. Yes the green wasn't the best but it looked to me like you could have any colour you wanted. I would be interested to see how much it is.

It's the Classic Ford show, how can OSF NOT attend?? Whatever people thought of the organisation, there was still a great turnout of classic Fords. I enjoyed the show last year and I would like to go again this year. Nuff said.

I can't believe you're still tinkering not so lucky Jim! Surely you've not had more problems? Square headlights are the new black 👍

Hello Tony
