  1. The title of this www site is oldskoolford, rolls off the tongue and is a bit catchy, ....much better than, Ford car enthusiasts group for cars designed and released before 1980 which are fitted with metal bumpers ...bit long and takes a while to put in the search engine. So oldskoolford it is, it supports these cars from that age and shouldn't really dilute its ethos by changing the goal post, or it ends up loosing its identity
  2. I'd say yes it's worth it,.....the replica copies recreation etc etc etc just haven't got what this has, timing chain or rubber band ? That could effect the price ....but if it goes for that price will we ever see it at shows or meets again ??
  3. Lense and good silver light dish have gone so only got the bowl and securing rings left. ... I'm saying £25 for both bowls and rings
  4. Wasn't that built for the show ...Pink Panther, along with the other car
  5. Got two Cibie super Oscers ....bowls and rings decent ...in a past life have been sand blasted and painted grey, One has a broken lense and one light backing dish is showing signs of delaminations, Had a quick search for a new lense and was going to put them on a car, but plans change so up forsale hoping to find someone who maybe looking for them Item located in nth Lincs Price is £55 postage included to mainland UK Can send pictures to email address if your serious l_j_shaw@hotmail.co.uk
  6. Know I've got a 1300gt ...will check the block numbers if your still interested
  7. My 60s Anglias need MOT ....but none of my 70s escorts don't need it now ...yippee ...but I guess it's just as people say ...it's an admin over sight
  8. Looking for a early Escort Mk1 heater matrix ....the one I've taken out is an all copper item if that helps. Ok ok I know I should have sorted it when it broke 23 yrs ago lol but better late than never Lee
  9. Look into shipping it somewhere and getting a lot more for your money .....I can remember a few years it was so much cheaper sending stuff to Poland and people who did it getting better quality for a lot less.. Yes did read a few horror stories, but heard more positives ..
  10. Cool car as said before ...like the car
  11. You carnt blame anyone for trying to get as much as they can for the cars, if auction is the way of achieving that. And yes I did try selling my RS1600 not long ago ...what a pain that turned out to be ...at least some potential dealers where honest enough to say what price they would put it up for, but just wanted to knock me down even more ...
  12. I was very happy with the Vulcan built crossflow I had ...and would use them again, I found the engine reliable and usable in slow traffic as well
  13. Got IDFs on my supersport .....what a pain to set up ....but once I had it right it's been an absolute awesome set up well worth the effort
  14. Front screen ...laminated ...clear... Price ...it's free just needs collecting from North Lincs area PM on here if your after one
  15. My Anglia produces 26bhp at the wheels ......burn outs are just a dream ....if I leave a show in a cloud of smoke means I've got some engine repairs to do lol lol Been to the Ace cafe a few times when the meet was on...great meet, shame about the activities on the road out side. i can understand local residence protesting about these activities.
  16. It's brilliant ....you get your grandkids for a short time, ....you can fill them full of sugar get them all hypo and full of energy and hand them back just before they go to bed ....and still get a great nights sleep ....if you don't call the mum n dad for a few days it's all forgotten about ...lol lol
  17. Red n gold cars are dead common lol lol lol
  18. Had my Anglia done ...great fun ...on full out n out power run it made 26.5 bhp at the wheels .....well worth the laugh factor...
  19. ive heard about this problem from a few others, but not about it being resolved as yet, even welding a ridge onto the lugs hasn't given 100% positive result.
  20. A while ago it was all about how good the Reproduction alloys where. Will the Weller wheel go the same way. Been informed that it's totally different under the hub cap ?
  21. Like the look of the manifold, any idea what make it is ?
  22. You never know the seller might view this site lol but if he marks up prices like that ...maybe he's sunning himself on his own island on his own planet lol Having just put one of my own cars up forsale ....I was surprised how many dealers thought they where entitled to a dealer discount ..once I had withdrawn it from sale, only one was honest enough to say he was going to put it back on at proper market value.
  23. Will pm you ..when I can find the button
  24. I'm afraid to say I totally disagree with the statement ...once fitted to the car only a few could tell the difference. They are totally different in so many ways, even on a moving car they look totally different to the genuine rims even.with or without caps. Even the JDM replica one look different, just a little harder to spot on a moving car.
  25. If your parting with that amount for something that could be wrong, I'd have a drive up and have a good look at the car. If I was looking for a Mk1 Mex .......this would not be on my list, something just isn't right, it may have had a few changes in its life.
