I have one on the Prefect, nice and neat, cobbled together from bends and straights from the local motor factor. However, its noisy and ive really gone off it, but it can be done.

Nice one Mark, you may wanna consider a 'Tina estate with that brood!

My brother has a pinto, rocket box and 3.5:4 combines good back road messin and comfortable motorway 80-90mph I have a pinto, 5 speed and a 4.1, starts screaming like a banshee about 65-70 Im therefore a great believer all in final drive choice.

you gonna try these A1ex? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-18-MK1-FORD-ESC ... 240%3A1318

id leave as is.

You want that over one of Kierans video compilations

CEO Ford, Dagenham, Dear Sir, Myself and some of the boys on OSF would like to know if you could pull the old Escort presses out for a bit. While your at it, could you throw in any bits you might have kicking around at AVO, Aveley. Im sure these are of no use to you now. Many thanks Dazza

Sod the handling Mr Retro, get some side pipes

Lovely Found something similar the other day

Just dont get one of those Beetle based (Nova) ones

Interesting points..... Im sure youve seen chop cut rebuild, where they are able to get a new camaro shell from Taiwan! ... Ebay it is then.

Thanks for the weather update, we have 2 feet of snow

Looks stunning...... but a few pics seeing off the plastic would have been nice.

I cant believe that places like British Heritage havent considered reproducing shells, say for example the most sortafter Mk1 Escort. Looking on the site its mostly stuff like BL and Triumph, so I wonder if it wouldnt consider Ford as it was an American based company? Surely the international interest in such a car for restoration and competition would warrant commercially viable production? (Especially the Irish and Welsh rally boys) I suppose it would affect smaller companies producing pattern parts and panels and that would be a bad thing, even maybe even pull valuation down, but in the cut throat world of business this would be a small consideration. Even Ford itself jumping on the bandwagon to meet restoration supplies? Anyone else ever pondered over this?

Thanks Pete / Steve

Try the Sporting Escorts site, they have a few Huntsman guys who may know, Alternatively, id get in touch with DVLA who can pass on requests.

Their the ones mate!

I see a few cars on here with F1 style bike mirrors. Any legal, MOT issues?

Did him a 43rd years ago, sure he'd like an 18th floating about tho!

Street Machine covered the build in the 90s.

Nice one Trev, someone had to do it!

The missus swears its only 4, but as usual shes wrong, its at least 8.
