Also found a few pics of my first escort estate, started as a 1300 base, one owner, i fitted a megga quick X flow on 45s, then it all went wrong two years after i finished it, Hit a datsun cherry on the M6 Broke its back and snapped the tail shaft housing off the gearbox, thank god i caged it, coppers said i was very lucky Oh my poor brand new quater bumpers and cibes, The engine came out and went in to the red RS replica above,

This was a mk2 i had years ago, had a rear end bump in it, lost the door gaps, so i reshelled it, cant belive i scrapped the shell as it was, have a good look at the front wings! RS tab wings, as id just fitted an RS2000 nose to it, when i shelled it i got two brand new wings from the dealer i was working for, that shell would have been worth a few quid now im guessing !!! This was it before then bump And after the reshell, did it in a week and two days, including spraying it as a shell

Think ive just done a sex wee, pure mechanical porn

Is there a meet today?

Is that the ford heritage fleet? got kicked out of there by security a few years ago, i was on training at ford, a few of us went for a wonder, wish id seen all that porn, think ive just done a sex wee

Ive done this to a MK2 and a MK1 in years gone by, easy when you have the doner car, contacted DVLA kepped the original reg number , Just remember the roof does need changing aswell, slightly different roof angle, i found this out the hard way

Took her for a little spin, drives mint, should have the welding done this week,

Will be there, will try and get the MK1 estate on the go for then, unless its sold off super quick

Hate the shit, cant do it anymore makes me ill,

Got the rear seats, not to sure on price yet, depends on what other goodies it gets, its got 2.8 legs with vented discs, 1300 gt engine, whats your thoughts on price with a full 12 months mot? and its tax free

You know how you poke about on ebay looking for that oldskool bargain, well i did find a little gem, took a gamble and its payed off, take a look see, what you think? Arrived at 9.30 friday night as in yesterday,payed the nice french man a few english quids,no engine or box, had a look round few rusty bits here and there nothing to bad, allready had the old engine and box from my own 1300E, so it was late so why go home, engine and box went in as one, got it running in about 45 mins, stuck for a clutch cable so road test was this morning, cant get attached to this as soon as its done and MOT`d it will be up for sale, took the stickers off it, and the roof rack, might loose the steel rims for lotus deep dish or RS alloys, so bargains are still on the bay if your willing to take a gamble

A few years ago i was restoring a Ford D series breakdown truck at the ford dealer i worked at, the service manager had a bright idea to try and galvernise the doors id just repaired, well to say they were knackered upon return was an understament, twisted to hell, not a good idea to do a full shell,

Loving the gold mk1 escort 4door with datsun rear light, proper old skool

From what little french i can understand, he followed a mate around the full rally useing it as a service barge, the mate was ralling an escort mk1 rs2000, i think, said he drove over 1500 mile with no break downs, so got to worth a go me thinks, Love the retro stickers and roof rack

I payed 450 for a set of group 4 billys with coilover converstion,and ally top mounts, not cheep but they where brand fire new

Yes thats the one, no engine or box, hence why its having a 1300gt engine and box from my 1300E, Talked to the guy today in france, its being delivered sat morning, its been dry stored since it finished the monti carlo rally in 2007,

Got one off ebay where i had it from

I hears you, ive had a few dubs, split screen pick ups, loved them to bits, but a landrover came up for sale i built in 95 and i had to buy it back, thats set me off on the offroading again, allways had an oldskool thou, would never be with out one, No matter what a crap day ive had, i jump in the old one and everything goes away, normally due to the smell of fuel and EP gear oil !!!!

Just got hold of a MK1 escort estate, very good condition, quater bumpers, cibes two up two down, 1300 GT x flow engine and box, tax exempt, full mot, what sort of value would you guess at? Need to tell my insurance to include it on my traders policy, there asking on value, i valued my other big wing 1300E mk1 at 10k, they excepted that fine, not to sure on the estate, you thoughts would be cool, Thanks in advance

My hearts allways been ford, seeing as i worked for an RS dealer as a technician for 15 years, Landrovers are very popular and i also have one myself, the v dubs just kept coming so i carried on fixing them ! Very strange mix but i works, need to change my web page to include classic ford !!!!

Glad your happy paul, any time your passing the kettles on That offer is open to anyone, just google MRM Services im first on the list

Damm shame i had to miss this, nice pics thou

Think we need to get our head together again, been busy last few weeks, im game when do we think?

I was thinking of camping to, any directions to the field your talking about?
