Still on??

Soooo remember those days!! Used to bend pushrods but not really do any proper damage

I did this about 5 years ago, great fun, really chilled out guys. I think all the escorts were 2.0 pinto with sidedrafts - cool !!

Bump !!

John, your car look lush, got any links to better photos??

Nice one, even better as you've just bought it (hanvt you??). Nice to know it was well looked after by the previous owner

Food for thought. The total area of tyre-to-road contact, for all 4 tyres is only about the size of one A4 piece of paper !!! Thats all the friction that is holding you on the road, when you're tearing around the countryside, no-matter how good your driving skill are. Dont buy shite ditch-finders

Cheers No Ford at mo so.................Might be there in this...

Wot time at Boxhill??

PM sent

Sweet, plus an Aussie born & bred - should be pretty solid then

Can you edit out my wife........

I'll have a go, thanks for the heads-up

.....have been in the past

Oh OK, cheers & noted

As title says really - is this still going??

Great cars there. When's the next meet?? Not got a Ford at mo, will I be shot & car torched if I bring this...

Not a huge venue but nice pub & field behind it. Just off A3, Liphook, Hants, GU30 7PD https://www.Retards Club.com/TheDeersHut

A few photos of long gone heros.... '79 3.0S manual with LSD, tubular manifolds & no sunroof from factory. Bought in 1988 Repaint, wheels & dropped. Sold around 1991 1300E, paintwork based on Wooding Racing. Bought in 1985 A couple of mate's cars from the late 80S. White one was originally 1300GT, yellow was originally a 1300E. About a week after he sold it, new owner managed to swop ends into a big tree......

I know of a very clean 2 door MK1 that will "probably" be for sale. Downside is it's a LHD & only a 1100. It's spent most of it's life somewhere hot & is very solid. So solid, that it's never been undersealed, giving a potential buyer the chance for a proper look over it. It's red but originally white. I'm sure £7000 would buy it, giving you another £7000 to turn it into the car you want. With such a narrow car, believe me, LHD doesnt really make a lot of difference to drive but different to look at

That red Capri was nothing to do with Tony. Must admit, it doesnt ring any bells with me either - luckily....

Only just read this. What a huge loss, he was an absolute legend in the Irish tarmac field. Probably even went the the Purley gates sideways.... RIP

A lovely 1600E from Malta - no, not mine, just spotted on me hols....

Must be good condition & have some sought of dish to it. I have a good nik 13" dished & a 15" flat if anyone wants a swop... Cheers, Kev

Haha, if they did, I doubt you'd have half the problems you had in the first place... Just as a comparison, this is a photo of the top of the front inner wing from a 1973 BMW 2002, when I removed the rotten front wings. I was amazed to find I had NO WORK whatsoever to do here. I'm not comparing the desirability of the BMW to old Fords, but they certainly spent more money on wax/sealing & added more metal in places.... You can still see the speed clips where the wing bolts to. My old Escort was much worse than this back in 1985 !!!
