Muppetboy

Took her out Sunday, forgot how heavy she is to drive. Great fun though MOT and road rent next week,

Hi Mr Bailey, I see that Mex is still looking sweeeeeeet. She's a credit to you fella.

Is she standard ..... Hmmmm yeah pretty much. Just the odd wear item changed since the early eighties. She's sweet as, the paint's 35 years old

Again cheers people, I'll post up some more pics once the MOT etc is done. It's funny in the VW world NOS VW stuff is expensive but out there for buying. OG RS stuff just seems to be unavailable. Are there any New Old Stock Ford Specialists out there.....

Cheers guys and dolls, yep verrrrry late Mk1 and can't wait to get driving her again. Can't beat the feeling of never knowing if you're going to make your destination. A breakdown or possible carjack are ever far away Alright Pip! will be good to catch up

$hit a brick Jo 101342 posts..... How many decades was I away

Cheers guys, Yeah nice old car to have tucked away. May need to use her everyday for a while. The commute to work should be intersesting

Well it's been a long time since I posted on here got a bit waylaid on a Splitscreen bus for 4 years!! But having spent the last couple of weeks sorting the old girl out I thought fill you guys in what I've been up to. New cam belt and water pump, findle with the rear brakes, bleed the whole system and she running like a dream again MOT time Should be ready for some local meets..

http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... p?t=102813 This old boy must be gutted, keep your eyes peeled. How cool would it be to return this car to it's original owner. p.s sorry mods I know you have a stolen room but this needs to be read by everyone. Cars like this are special.

This actually car is the reason a whole bunch of kids back in the early eighties in Birmingham got into cars and blue ovals. They would lean on the owners wall just looking and dreaming of owning such a car. All those chaps grew up into full on Petrolheads in and around Birmingham and now in thier late thirties and early forties are really pissed off that some lowlives have stolen this car. I would hope whoever has the car has a decent bone in their spineless bodies and returns it. Oh and I have to say that the guys are mighty pissed off and wouldn't like to be in the thieving scumbags shoes if any of them find out who they are. So if the Thief is reading this, give it back you turds, for once in your miserble lives do the right thing.

Cheers Dalek

Alright Guys and Dolls, it's been a while. Anyone know where I can buy an old style battery for my MK1 RS2000. I've seen them but don't know who sells 'em.
