Welcome, don't write off that xflow yet! Mine is bored out to 1700cc... rolling road booked for Friday... Welcome to the site.

Welcome, you are true old skool, looking forward to seeing your mustang.

Brilliant! Thank you, I'll get more pics up this weekend.

Photobucket not working for me as well but still works on other sites... please see attached.

New wheels.... pics now here...

It's a shame.. most people are genuinely interested in the cars... When my mk1 is on my drive it gets loads of attention from passers by; probably because loads of people owned them in the 70s. If I see one out and about I find myself staring....

Can't wait to hear this running... my neighbours are going to love me...

Good luck with the sale, that is a hell of a motor...

Zetec sold!

Yes, was thinking is square plate but need to sort brackets first.

Thanks for the 4 spokes, much appreciated! Can't wait to get them on. Brackets look out of place, I'll have to have think about them...

I guess you are an Eagles man not Watford, good luck!

Yes, that was me, I've loved mk1s ever since my Dad had one... this is my forth one and the best. I know it was a lot to pay but the shell is 100% original/strong and the program spent £'000s on her. This is a keeper!

Well done, looks like a nice car, saw it for sale before, he reduced it so I think you've had a good deal, enjoy!

Anglia Van axle, 7in minilites on mine... 8in should go on...

They were going to fit quarters but decided against it because they feared mk1 lovers would criticise them for trying to make a Mexico replica. I spoke to Ed China, who said he would have like to have fitted quartes with 2 up, 2 down cibies!

Won't be ready in time! Joe and Col been very busy...

Yes, it's the Wheeler Dealer car, I'm making a few changes, new seats to go in, quarters done, RS 4 spokes coming soon and more importantly 1700cc Xflow Ashton Mobile engine being fitted soonish!

Like I really need to ask... which look is better, full bumper with bump ons or quarters! Before.. Now with quarters..

Head flowed and polished Wasted valves Ashton boys been really busy! Meanwhile, I've bought new quarter bumpers and been a bit busy myself.. not as much work as the boys! Before Now with quarters, much better I think... New seats to be fitted soon...

Thanks Col for coming down and working hard in the rain, much appreciated.

I have anther mk1 to enjoy once completed, currently having an Ashton Mobile 1700 xflow fitted. Maybe see you around sometime...

Horsham, West Sussex, near Gatwick Airport.

The car started as a 1972, yellow, 1100 Base and has 7 previous owners. The shell was really good hence a good base for the modifications. I'm not a mechanic so I took it to a race specialist to go over with a fine tooth comb. Nothing was wrong with the car when I bought her but some mods were made so that I was 100% secure ferrying my kids around. Previous owner did the following:- Shell was completely blasted inside and out All rust cut out and replaced new floors Extra large gbox tunnel fitted in case the need to fit a t5 at a later date Resprayed Subaru ice blue - rare colour similar to blue mink but brighter Engine is a new Ginetta G40 1800 race engine - basically RS1800i engine blueprinted Twin 40s with megajolt ignition Alloy rad, alloy sump, 421 manifold Type 9 5 speed gearbox fitted Brand new prop Anglia 105e axle fitted as stronger and to run wider tyres if required 7x13 split rim style superlights with Yokohama tyres fitted 2.8i Capri front legs, new callipers and lowered springs Granada rear callipers Bias pedal box Mk 1 Golf headlights Work I had done:- Complete rewire of the car, brand new twin 40s, changed the dash dials to Smiths dials from a Morgan, changed seats to genuine mk 1 classic style with beta cloth, strengthened the sump, re fit fuel lines, set up car on rolling road, fitted modified heater, fitted chrome window inserts, fitted fibre glass quarter bumpers, fitted rear belts for the kiddies! etc. The car runs perfectly and turns heads wherever I go! It flew through the MOT last week. Classic car insurance is £115.00, tax free! Appreciating classic with modern mechanicals!
