Seconded Go for it !!

Yeah it is. It'll do for a while, and to get everything sorted, like manifolds and mounts etc.

Update. The car has finally been moved 100 miles from my previous address to where I am now. My manager has kindly allowed me to park it at work outside our workshop so that I can get on with it there Top man. It now has a 2 litre Pinto balancing in the engine bay, which is a 50,000 miler from a Transit, recently serviced and it came with spares. Best of all, it cost me 50 quid! Sweet. I'll get some pics soon so you can all laugh and wish me luck

OK, managed to scan the photos of the mk2 This was just after I stuffed it into a solid mud bank down the lanes, so it got a new front panel, fibreglass wings and bonnet, new steels, and compression struts

I've only got photos of the yellow mkII, during the rebuild after I smashed it up. I'll scan them when I get a chance

Just thought, my list of OSFs so far - Mk2 Cortina 1300 Deluxe 4door, white, modded Mk5 Capri 2L Laser, grey, std Mk2 Escort 1100L 2door, yellow, modded Mk2 Escort 1300 2door, red, std Mk1 Escort 1100 2door, met blue big arched Mk2 Escort 1100L 2door, blue Mk1 Escort 1300XL 2door, brown

Hi people I've had a mk1 before, which was stolen before I sorted it. Also had 3 mk2s. One I did a few bits too, before smashing it up and bending the chassis down the lanes (Anyone heard of Salt-Box Hill in Biggin Hill?) I currently drive a modded Mk5 Transit in mattblack and love it Finally got what I really wanted, a Mk1 Escort again. It's a 1300XL which my mate bought when he was 14 (15 years ago), and it's sat in a garden rotting since. Time for a slight freshen up Looking forward to sharing all my grief with you Happy Motoring
