That's a big time ouch for sure. Hope the occupants were ok

What about getting some dark brown faux leather and re-cover the whole thing by sticking it down with spray glue? If the colour matches ok, it'll look like new.

Rare old beast these days

I like it, on my monitor it looked like it had a hint of green, hence the question.

Welcome to OSF @whitebuffalo Good to see the old Fords representing worldwide What colour is the Escort? Cant quite make it out.

Agreed! Near us some roads seem 'ok', but others less than half a mile away are shocking, DEEP 3-6 inch holes that will kill your wheel/tyre, and conveniently hidden disguising themselves as a simple puddle. I've warned my newly driving 17 year old lad to even try to avoid puddles round here just to be safe. Sadly, it might take a high profile death for the Government to actually take it seriously.

I do love a MK1 Fiesta

Shit, just seen this post, timing is everything as they say

Droop snoot Mexico anyone? Always dry stored

Very nice! Car looks great and sounds impressive

Welcome to OSF Phil 47 years is a good innings to be fair, I've had mine for around 23 years, and plenty of other old Fords before that. Be great to see some more photos of your car. Feel free to start a post in Readers Rides or Projects if there is more to come.

I still go, but for me it is now only down the road, so almost rude not to go. Last year I was on the Ashton stand, and this year I'm on the SLRP stand, but you'd have to look at shitebook to see their page > https://www.Retards Club.com/groups/531017457345280

Seems a million years ago now, but here goes Obligatory paper round on my BMX (even with a broken arm at times) Went to work with Grandad over school summer holidays for a fiver a day to help him at work (self emp builder) Part time weekend jobs at Halfords, Homebase First full time job - Wimbledon City Ford - new car sales circa 1992 Fast forward to 2026, can I retire yet please.😆

Forgot about this post. Even though I could have gone exempt, I got the Mex MOT'd. Better to be safe than sorry form various perspectives.

Some graft gone into that one, but not for me. Sometimes, less is more.

All I know is that I've had the Mex since before the wife, and before the kids, and 22/23 years later I've still got the same car, and currently, the same family 😁

Welcome to OSF mate We've been here over 20 years and still alive, feel free to get involved and share some pics of your car.

Ah man, yes the good old days of risking life to take MK2 Escort bonnets off three cars high in the rain and (cough) finding bits in your tool box at home that you "forgot" to pay for.😁 Atkinson's in Wimbledon, Bridges in Crawley and some other ones in Mitcham who's names I cant remember. I can smell them now......

Welcome to OSF! As said, feel free to share some photos, and even start a post in the projects section.

Not sure I would be able to leave it as is, but that's just me

Shame isnt it

Good work lads, hope you have a cracking weekend

Cheers mate It's now on Santa's nice list hahaha
