Dug out me box of old Ford brochures the other day and thought Id share a few piccys with you(got a new scanner today so had to try it out) All collected from Ford showrooms in the very earlier 1970's when I was young(ish!!). .

Correct....been going there for over 32 years(sh!t Im old!!)

excellent idea.....one i know of some times have them in Will this happen.....a dead car section?? Got one of the biggest scrapyards down the road from me.

Sorry to hear the bad news,all the best to you.

I cant believe I missed this post when you first put it up!!! Theres to much to look at on this forum!!! What can I say about the Mexico......truly amazing,your old man must be so pleased.

rscapriman, just been going through some old brouchures and turned this up,youve probably seen this before but I thought Id stick it up. Check out the retail price £2193 !!!

As soon as I saw the piccy of your car it reminded me of an old brochure I had..........30 mins later and Ive found it! Do like your motor,real nice.

Luv it

This link may help you. http://www.uk-hotrods.co.uk/v2/tech/brakes/brakes.php There are other tech articles on here which may help others too,worth a look.

For hard road/track use Ive found a quality bolt on strut brace will do the job fine,as regards to a weld on type (I take it you mean the mounting plates for the cross bar welded to the top plates)just as good but will need extra work to redo your paintwork after welding!

Quote Old Skool Ford header above: " This site is dedicated to Old Skool Fords" " in our eyes that means" "NO MK3 Escorts, Sierra Cosworths or RS T's. ie. Plastic not so Fantastic" Nuff said.

Dave, Totally blown away how you can do this.....amazing.

How come this car is in such good nick....wheres it been all its life????

You can use the standard copper pipe that corrodes over time or you can use Cupro Nickel/Kunifer Brake Tubing which will not corrode. I have used the latter on my latest build,it is harder to bend and flare and you will need a decent tool for the job......worth the extra.

noddy280,got some mates that run a motor factors in Horsham,Im sure if you popped in with your old lines they would make some for you. Horsham Brake Services,10 Nightingale Rd, Horsham, RH12 2NW 01403- 254457 Ask for Andy Brock,tell him Mick Perry sent you. I hope this helps.

one very very lucky guy........

Escorta, The red mk2,does it belong to a guy called Graham Rudge?

Wicked...............

Might not be of any help as I dont know of any chromers of note in those areas but if he does want a top job done then I can 100% recommend London Chroming,735 Old Kent Rd, London, SE15 1JL - 020 7639 6434 www.londonchroming.co.uk Used them for over 20 years on a business basis and they never let me down,the best of the best(not cheap but you only want to do it once!)

He obviously hates his van so much the way he drives it...perhaps a saxo or nova might suit him better...time for a change matey.

Looks the nuts mate, reminds me of a lotus 'tina I used to see while waiting for the bus for school(1972!),mettalic blue with a matt black bonnet...sounded the biz as he booted it passed all us watching kids...good memories......

Fear not!!!!!! Hes not going to banger the mk1. I popped in to say hello today and he was working on it,quite a strong shell and I think Im right in saying it might be for sale at some point.

Great vid,well done.

Dont forget to change all your brake seals(master as well),they may not leak now but if they have been dormant for all those years it wont be long. Be safe...worth checking over.

Total quality through out.........luv it.
