Thought you might like to see some pics of my friends latest build,he started this model about a year ago as he wanted it to be as close to the real car as poss.This is one i'd love in my collection.
Thanks for the comments lads,the fact it's so standard/original is my fave part of the car,like the dealer plates,tax disc holder,window sticker,even has both sets of original keys.As much as like a modified Fiesta i couldn't bring myself to mod it.
I have been into Old Skool Ford's for about 4 years,started collecting/modifying 1/18 scale models & then the bug for a real one bit hard.As much as i would of liked a Escort i couldn't afford one so i decided to look at the Mk1 Fiesta.I looked at one in March 2011 & was blown away how good & original it was.The chap i got it from was the third owner,had it 7 years covering just 1,300 miles
It's a 1982 1.3 GL in Terracotta,all original paint/panels.
Enjoy the pics.
This was at the Ford Dunton plant Sep 2011
Sep 2011 in the 100 Years of Ford parade at Dunton.
Then in Nov 2011 it came off the road to have underseal done & some minor paintwork/detailing of the underneath.
First show i did this year Kent all Ford show.
Santa Pod Classic Ford show 2012
And a mock up on the front cover of ClassicFord
There's a oldskoolford night the last Thursday of the month at the diner mate, it's just started up but has a good 10 to 15 members already that come along so would be good to meet some more
Thanks for that,i normally struggle to get to evening meets as i can sometimes work late.
Am thinking to try again for this weekend at the same location or elswhere if anyone is up for it?.
No,i didn't go as the weather was appalling plus there was no interest but that was prob due to the weather.Maybe another time as it would be good to meet some of you.
Hi all,if the weather is good il'l be taking my Mk1 Fiesta out for a drive and going for lunch at The 8 Ball so thought i'd mention it so we can have a meet,plus it's a good excuse to take your motors out
Thinking meet at 1pm onwards.
Hope to see you.
