Hi Ross, sorry I've missed the list, could you put me in reserve please??

Well done chaps, especially Ross, it looks like you had a great day

Hey Ross, I don't think I can make it, am sorry to say we're rushing to get our house ready to sell, though I will try to get to see you all at telford services, sorry again

Hey guys i wanted to share a couple of vids of the osf Wales trip from last year, but i can't figure out how to get them posted on this new forum so,,,,,, go on youtube and search 'osf wales trip 1' and also 'osf wales trip 2' enjoy peeps

Here's a few more pics that have been requested... Under the bonnet, 32/36 weber fitted, also twin circuit servo brakes (has capri legs fitted and larger diameter rear drums) also had new brand new brakepipes and braided flexi pipes throughout the whole car about 3 years back. Interior, it had brown seats originally but i've replaced them with this nice black basket weave set. Dials came from a 1600e cortina, they work fine. I have to say that i will be keeping the springalex steering wheel as i've owned it for donkeys years, so i'll fit back the original wheel.

Hey Ross, I'd love to go thanks

Hi Skippy and sebring, Yes it sure looks different since you saw it last, its had lots of time and ££££ on it! Thanks for your comments, have been toying with selling it for a bit and have decided to let it go as i still have the 2dr, and have a new classic mini and am looking for a 70's 4dr yank ( maybe a Dodge? ) Also thanks for everyones pm's

I got a mk1 escort 4 d for sale in the classifieds

Hi, the 1600 came from a cortins 1600e so is mex spec but has a cast manifold and stock exhaust. I hav'nt any interior shots at the moment but you can see it on the 2nd of the videos. You can also see the dash on a thread in the 'how to guides' on this forum. The topic is called 'Changing basic mk1 twin dials to look 60's retro'. Hope this helps

Thanks Vista, sorted now

The colour looks orange in the video but is a deep red.

Can anyone please give me an idiot proof guide as how to either post a link to a you tube vid or even better, how to put the vid in the post. I really hav'nt the firsty clue and am not a ccomputer person, please help

After a great deal of thought i've decided to sell my 4 door mk1. I've owned it for 4-5 years in which time its been my everyday driver. Its had a 1600 installed, new sills, arches,wings,front panel, back panel, loads of other stuff. It was resprayed last year, is tax free, and had its mot done 2 days ago (2/3/13). I've bought a new project and i have other cars so something has to go. I'll post this on osf for a week and if no joy i'll put it on ebay as a classified. If it does'nt go then i'll just have to keep it! i'll also post a link to a you vid of this car soon. I'm looking for £3,500 as its no rot box you can't use, as i say its done everything for years, if interested gimme a call 07901 981638 (Lee) Birmingham area.

I'll try to make it there too

Will try and make it Tom

Hey Ross what a great day, really enjoyed it, well done and thanks also to Aled for organising the Welsh end of the trip I had a good laugh and look forward to the next!!

or me

a 375 consul i'm sure

count me in please ross

Hey Tom, I have a set of original Ford stripes (in white) from the sixties, still on a roll. They are no good anymore for sticking to the car as the adheisive is gone, but of course are perfect as templates as they are as Ford intended. I will be getting them copied In the near future as I'm putting a set on my four door as I've just finished painting It. If you want to borrow them after I've used them or if you want me to measure the stripe thickness etc, let me know

use my mk1 escort 4dr everyday, have had it 3 years now.

Hope your gonna be ok thats the main thing, but you may as well keep the mk2 if you can as you may well regret selling it later on

Thats a totally bodacious road dude, sorry I missed it. P.S does anyone have the link for the vid took on the bridge near Telford?
