Last chance before is goes on ebay at the weekend 👍

As title realy, this was my spare bonnet but seen as i have got the car painted now its surplus to requirements. The rust you can see is just surface/ storage rust there is no rot on it what so ever and no bulging seam welds. There is a scratch ending a dent on the front of it, its an east repair for any good bodyshop. Asking £80 for it,Its located in grimsby if you want to pick it up or i can meet you within a 50 mile radius of grimsby for the cost of the fuel. Going to give it a week on here then its off on evilbay 😜

Thanks 😊

After 8 months in the paint shop she is finally home 😊

Sold 😊

Sorry but no.

Had a word with a local saddle/ leather working guru and he is going to have a look at it for me to see if it can be "sympathetically " restored rather than being recovered 🙂

Hi all . As title realy a pair of genuine black rear 3/4 door cards. They are 7 out of 10 to be fair, some scuffs and the like. Remember there 40 years old 😊 just what you see, no ashtrays. Am going to put them on here for a few days before i throw them to the masses on evil bay. 45 quid posted or pick up in the grimsby area or will run them out to you in a 50 mile radius for the fuel . Regards Eddy

Where the leather joins up around the back its split, i am in 2 minds weather to have it stitched together or have it recovered. It might be a bit tatty around the edges but it is original. Its a bit of a hard call tbh.

Hi all I am looking at getting my Rs steering wheel refurbished, is there a company out there that does this sort of thing thats reputable and reliable. Thanks in advance ☺

I thought as much !! I have got a repo FORD letter front grill to go with the early boot lid , i was just unsure which badge to use . I think i will order a set before his prices go through the roof 😁

Hi all . I will be fitting an early style boot lid to my escort, ie the lid that has F O R D in letters by the boot lock, my question is which escort script badge is correct for that early style of lid ! Top one or bottom one !!

Big redd did mine to !! They did a spot on job as well 👍

I bought a job lot of black handles years back for 60 quid, picked the best out and had them anodized black at our local power coating place for 20 quid !! Job done. 400 Quid for nos handles is just fantasy money, i would rather go with out then line the pockits of " scene hawks" cashing in 😡

Very true 👍It had to be a standard period ford colour as well, just because !! Tbf a mate of mine has a Midnight blue Rs2000 and it just stunning and it nearly edged the yellow out as well but i am glad i chose yellow. Its a bit of a marmite colour i find, some cars it suits realy well, mk1 fez, E36 M3 , old 911 Porsche's that sort of thing and some stuff just looks pants in yellow !

As and when it gets its done i will post some more pics up , the storage it is in now doesn't do it justice, i had the bonnet outside in the sunshine last week just to give it a cleen and the paint work just gleams , you nearly need sun glasses 😆 It took ages to choose the colour, i originally wanted a black one to do a bit of a JPS rep but a old retired paint shop forman friend of my dads said that old cars should stand out in bright colours so signal yellow it was 🤘

I have just got the black bits around the rear windows and the door shuts and the front panal to get finished and it will be 100 % done !

I hope not, its nearly given me a heart attack to get it this far 🤣🤣 i am 40 next April, i would like it to be done for then !

After all these years my mk2 has the paint job it deserves, i dont mind saying i have shed a tear or 2 tonite 😪

Hi all, i will be fitting princess 4 pot front brakes to my mk2 escort, question is 2 or 3 " old hand " rally chaps round here that had clubman spec mk2 rally cars in the day have all told me that you must use 2 brake pipes to feed the calipers as they were on the princess as they just dont work as well as feeding one inlet pipe and using a crossover pipe into anouther bleed nipple. What are people's thoughts on this ? Regards Eddy

I had heard they were off taxis!!! I have asked the seller twice now for some pictures of the ford part numbers that are stamped on them cus i dont want to waste my money on fake ones . Will let you know how i get on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have found some of the above on evil bay 🤣🤣 Carnt ever remember seeing them on the option list 🤦‍♂️

Had 2 good bargains lately, a pair of east Kent trim repo black 2 door mk2 escort door cards. Just taken out the packaging but not fitted , 80 quid posted 👍 And a complete mk2 escort base model, 2 door, rhd x flow wiring loom to finish my project off . 75 quid 👍

As title realy, i have tryed to rescue my original wiring loom but to no avail!! My car was originally a 1.3 L so i only need a base model loom . Cash waiting will travel to collect 👍

I could do with one as well !! Just a standerd 1300/1600 rhd one would do . You would think nowerdays someone would be reproduceing them , theres a fortune to be made there .
