Hi guys, I know it's not that oldskool (yet) but I am losing the space to keep this car and have a Capri to look after so it has to go. Was hoping to do this up for my girlfriend, but she is too ill so never got round to it. I just want to get her some money back for it now. Escort Eclipse 1.3 G393ART MoT failure.. main issues being rusty sills and arches. Although to be frank the failure sheet is nearly as long as I am tall.. the rust is the biggest fail. Too good to scrap and I hate seeing old Fords die. Starts, runs, drives and stops.. Been parked up for about 4 - 5 months. Like I say.. wanted to do this up, really didn't want to sell up, shame, but that's life. Needs a bit of work, but it's not that bad.. if I didn't have a million things to do to my Capri I'd keep it and put the work in. The missing side trim is in the boot. I can provide more photos on request... I realise now looking at the pictures that I didn't take any of the sills, but can if needs be. £200

..hi all. Sorry is this isn't the right place to post this, but is it still possible to buy those MK2/3 Capri roll cages that were advertised on OSF a while ago? I've PM'd a few people but got no response and can't find any info about them anywhere.. apart from loads of other posts from people wondering the same thing. Anyone got any information on what's going on? Cheers.

Haha I love how you hope there's a special smiley for every occaision Glyn :does a laugh: -
When mine did it it was the hose that runs to the oil pressure gauge - a tiny pin prick that shot oil all over the bulkhead, only when the engine was running of course. That's waht my money's on.

I think it's great! It means all those mugs who drive "the new Nissan Navarre IT GETS RESPECT" or the Porsche not even a real kind of car Cayenne or the Toyota SchoolCruiser or the Kia Nobsworth or whatever it's called or any other kind of car the majority of us hate get stung for it real hard. If they get a smaller, gayer car we can mock them every day by running rings around them in a 30 year old car. It's happy days to be driving OSFs guys. Happy days.

Hear you both loud and clear. Then you're got official watchdogs and government-funded think tanks saying "our society is badly fragmented and in dire need of an overhaul".... followed by some MP slating the reports and saying they're not true and how British values are not diminished... Then you read about two 15 year olds kicking some poor Dad to death outside his house as his family watches and you realise that there's no pretending anything's not broken down. It's all broken down. Don't know what's wrong with all this. Darkside. Take care out there people.

Grim isn't it. Really grim. She was yelling for help with her unconsiious boyfriends head on her knee and then they kicked her to death. just fckin awful, that;s your last memory alive, crying over your boyfriend and then being beaten to death. Hope they rot being shafted in prison.

I literally almost messed myself when I saw that Consul. That's amazing, nice work! -
Home made jobbie. Bit of luck really, I was after a Capri, I was gonna matt black it anyway, but this one turned up all ready done! But I'll have to strip it off and re-do it at some point... purely coz I've resprayed it a few times and it must weigh about 20kg hehehe. And also it looks damn rough in places.. paint doesn't much like flexing when you crash..

Is this the one you're referring to Mr. Smoke 'Em? Yeah it looks like you're wearing a fiery wig

..heh hehhhehh OK it's another matt black beater. Beastie does 200miles a week and it shows. 2.0S with FR32, putting out 130bhp. The skinny little 5.5J wheels is my excuse for all the front end damage (I spin all the way round and hit things with the front ) I love it and I wouldn't have it any other way. Nearside front damage from a set of railings after a wet roundabout, offside from a wall after snow.. and between them I think there's the sign of a hire car I ran into the back of. But hey I like to think I've learned things from every bash. This is it next to this nice, totally straight + original 2.8 which I've just sold: And on the funmachine: On a thrash: Most of the pics and the laquer red 1.6 are my mate Daisy's. It's really mint and, a skim, a 32/36 and a hot cam later, it's 110bhp. This is us at CoC(k) last summer, after Daisy's battery went flat and needed a jump. This was the second time I've been, I recommend it to everyone. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've been wanting to share those pics for ages. Aye, come to CoC(k) this year if you can, you wont regret it!
