MK2 Gaz

The roof was like it, although i think there more than likely would have been vinyl there at some point, there is a definite colour fade-in around the sides of the rear window, tbh I wouldve gotten rid of vinyl if it had been there, just not a fan of the stuff, though it can look great if in good nick, think its a flashback reflex to my dads old vauxhall viva roof!!! antz - have you lowered yours? Did you do it yourself? If so send me a pm with what bits you used/needed, and how much you paid for em if its not too much trouble? Cheers dude

New (old) wheels... BEFORE: AFTER: On Car: Refurbed by my good self, and shod with 175/70/13 Firestones. New chrome bumper also due to merc with no rear view mirror!!!

They are bastardly tight. Breaking the bead completley is pretty hard to do mind, nicking a bit of the rubber off it is the most i've ever managed to feck up. Try and find a place near you that has a Artiglio Master fitting machine. We've got one where i work, they are NEW NEW top of the range shizzle, and make things SOOOO easy, even run flats are a piece of cake. Mounts through the centre of tyre and no levers used at all, nothing touches the rim so no wheel marks/damage...

Some of the cars that caught my eye, not all ford, then batteries went, booo. If they're yours, nice ride!!!

Good luck, take em in some donuts or summat to sweeten them up...

Think im going, I'll be there in a blue mk2 esc 4dr, gates open at 10 i believe...

I went along, its on every year, racing on sat and sun, loads of mk2 escorts, a few mk1, and plenty other stuff too, the g/f got some pics on her phone as i forgot the digicam, if i can i'll wang some pics up... Curtis - the course is around brean leisure park, last year a caravan got totalled by a nova!! Oh and Peter Lloyd was there in his impreza s9...

My MK2 Escort was bought from new in Southampton Hendy Lennox by a Mr F Gunnar on 1/10/79, he paid a total of 3758.62, which included the trade in of a 67 cortina! Will stick pic of bill of sale up if i can dig it out... Fast forward 49,000 miles and 27 years and the escort gets it's second owner - ME!

boom boom

VW panel van reg no SHO996T, i read it as SHOOT, unfortunatly it looked SHOT, as numerous people commented! A mate had HOE on his pug 205, people kept nicking his plates!!!

Ok they are NOT alleycats, they are in that style but more intricate, made by performance of australia, for now it's settled, they are COLINS until proved otherwise!!!?! Scrubbing up ok anyways, you got the before pic, i'll post the after when its done... Cheers Gaz

Morris?

Thought as much, though seemed to remember tha alleycats having a circle around the outside of the 4studs? Certainly that style though. Worth owt after a spruce up?

Ok, so they're made by Performance, are 5.5 X 13, and i've just aquired a set of four of em for bugger all, but do they have an actual name... Cheers Gaz

Spare tyres don't come into an MOT.
