  2. not sure what ill be in, but ill be going. dunsfold park this year, only 3 mins from my house
  3. yes mate been couple years now as moved out of area. no longer looking to get rid of it as got it out and running and ragged it up and down yard. hows your cars coming along?
  4. my mistake. last time i looked for some on ebay they were £86 each only few months ago. seems to have gone up a bit since then
  5. yes they do about £93 each. pattern steel ones are available cheaper than that unless you specifically want fibreglass.
  6. over 4 years this has been outside in the fresh air and driven under its own power. owned it now seven years and been sitting gathering dust in the corner of my workshop for the past four of those. finally plumbed fuel lines and wired ignition to get it running and took for a blast up the yard. given my good incentive to get on with it and get it finished now. was gonna try and px it for a cortina but not now after driving it.
  7. steel wings are very hard and expensive to find. fiberglass ones are available from smith & deakin. i have fitted a few of these on mk1 capris and not a bad fit. as with any pattern panel fit wont be exact but you can get nice fit with good shut lines with a bit of effort.
  8. as stated cortina mk2 car wanted to swap for mk1 capri. see swap shop for details / pics

  11. ive fitted fibreglass wings to mk1 escorts and mk1 capris before. never really had any problems. ive heard people say they dont fit right, but ive fitted two sets of mk1 escort ones to different cars and once painted you couldnt notice the difference. strength of them pretty good. never had any crack on me.

  13. thanks again for all the kind words but sad update really. mate nigel sadly lost battle with the cancer and passed away tuesday afternoon. rest in peace mate.
  14. thanks to all for the kind words. a few more pics, all buffed and polished dropped it back to him today, he was over the moon with it but sadly not well enough to have a proper look or get out driving it yet.
  15. sometimes you realise that working hard isnt just about making money. sure its nice to have cash but sometimes its rewarding to do something good for a worthy cause. the last couple of days have been hard work and late nights working till after 11pm for both myself and jason(bomber). but its been worth it. a friend of ours has cancer and is quite ill at the moment. wont go into that too much but hes not doing good. anyway hes got a 2.0s capri hes been playing with, but needs it bodywork finishing and he wanted it resprayed but just didnt have the energy to do anything on it himself. i kept a couple of days free this week and got together with jason to see what we could do. i picked it up wednesday morning and with the help of my daughter (who doesnt normally like getting dirty) and jason got it stripped down by the afternoon. i painted boot shut area late wednesday night then thursday was mad getting rest of it rubbed down and prepped with the help of jason. getting the stripes off was an absolute pain. got it inside and painted it last night (thursday) about 10.30pm. and got it all put back together today. just got to give it a final buff then drop it back to him tomorrow. like i said mad couple of days but the satisfaction of giving it back to him all done hoping he will get better soon to enjoy it is payment enough. we done it all agreeing we wouldnt take a penny off him. all paint, materials, labour supplied by us free of charge, done it for a mate, not a profit. painted in french racing blue. cheers jason for the hard work and late nights. this ones on us nigel. from this on wednesday to this on friday

  19. just bought this mk1 fiesta for my boys first car to learn to drive in. saved it from being cut up by the local fire station as a practise vehicle. very low mileage with mot until january. 950cc a few rust scabs but it runs but needs new carb. gave £100 for it! gonna put a nice set of wheels on it then leave the rest as standard
  20. its been a nightmare few weeks but well worth it. firstly took on a largish workshop unit with enough room for 4 cars and all my spares . all electric and lights. moved mk1 capri in there, also joined by mk1 escy. forecourt out front for a few more motors. a hell of a lot more room to work round cars than my old lock up garages couldnt get a good pic with my camera but; then; Moved house literally just round corner from where i was living. a lot bigger house with our own large private car park. need to buy a few more motors to fill it now (but dont tell my missus yet)lol so its been a frantic few weeks, but all sorted and settled now so can relax and get back to work properly.
