Craige mk1escort.... Telford. Thanks

I bought mk2 escort nylon bushes, filed then to a snug fit, little bit of grease . Done,.. No movement, car drove perfect., I had done all the changes and had so much helpful but not problem solving advise...

Hi, I need a km 1 escort brake pedal clevis pin/bar. Anyone got one to sell me? The one that goes through the top of the brake pedal connecting the pedal to the master cylinder rod. Cheers

If you still have this breaking, I need the tinware from the engine bay that goes full width of the engine bay under the windscreen. Cheers

Hi, parcel shelf needed for my mk1 escort,. Doesn't need to be mint but a presentable condition and if it needs a little bit of work, that's ok., thanks.

hi mike,not sure if you found your car yet, i have a vgc mk5 estate going up for sale very soon, zeebarted from new , new batt, new rear shoes and cylinders, 4 brand new matching tyres and vg spare. brand new shocks all round and new rear springs. electronic ignition starts every time, full service, new cam belt and tensioner, 11 months mot, 6 months tax. fully original body so no hidden respray rust. im the third owner. 2.0L crusader. very nice car, but i am looking for 2.5k. as all new stuff has been done in the last month, new shocks n springs going on this weekend. .. but if you have a project already, this will be of no use lol.

my mk5 cortina estate is in need of some bits n bobs so i will be back, but will need a pair of headlight units soon,. , please leave a reply with cost, im in east london, many thanks.

love this meet. everyone is so welcoming, and a chilled out atmosphere, good job with the organising and enjoyed the odd cruise to blow off the cobwebs from the ol girl.

good effort paul, brilliant that its getting more recognised and some gorgeous motors there. a proper chilled out crowd and cant wait till next month. nice one man.

wicked stand again, yous done a great job, and was good to stop and chat in the shade of you geezabo. that was a scorcher out there.

i wired mine this year and like the others say, there is so much useful info on the internet that it made it quite easy. im an overkill man and did over size all the cable but make sure you use protection as you go through the bulk head and the such so you dont chafe wires, use the right size fuses and relays.., i looked for simple diagrams by googleing, how to wire headlights, how to wire indicators etc to get a less confusing single diagram of a circuit,. others may say this was a more difficult way of doing it and uses more cable, and they may be right but this was my first time too and 6 months in i have had no wire problems at all and i have quite a lot of extras over a standard loom. also i made the mistake of not keeping an eye on a couple of wires that fell out of their pre fixed saddles and when i fitted the final spades (terminated the wires) i was left kicking myself and hd to re run a few wires or be short.. safety safety safety, you dont want a fire. good luck

Im there, may even clean off all the dead flies off her chin before at the weekend inbetween rain storms. good job on finding a new venue so quickly paul. lookin forward to it.

ill be there, but sadly only riding shotgun till next month, .doc wont let me drive for 3 or 4 weeks, and when he said that, he was thinking of a plastic foreign, metallic painted, power steering abs city car, not a 41 yr old heavy set go cart that feels every bump, lump n clump on our fine roads, im afraid the drive would leave me a broken man, so im bringing the nissan and look forward to getting out.

after looking through this site and getting some very useful advise, enjoying looking through other peoples projects and reading through other peoples woes , i have loosened the wallet just a little, paid up as this site is worth every penny. i will be out next month with my mk 1 escort if all goes to plan, and hope to drive it to a few meets and shows this year starting with the 8 ball diner meet in April. Thanks guys for all the help and when i get it sorted will post some pics up. cheers again,

i will be there again, ., a good night.

ill be there in my trusty volvo, still ironing out some issues with the escort, so escort t shirt it is.

niiiiiiiice

hi, sounds awsome. looking forward to pics

niiiiiiiice.

genius, on another planet but still genius.

i looked everywhere and phoned a few times but no reply, will give them a buzz again this week, im just looking for a few things to make mine different as otherwise it will look a poor imitation of a rally spec white bubble arched mk1, although i love my car with a passion i know its not mint and hate when it gets pointed out to me, id love it to be mint but part of the fun is gettin ya mates to tow you in, or use gum to hold some wires together, its where the funniest stories come from. i do envy the minters but im more than happy with my mk1. ill sort some pics soon. im just getting used to the site and am not a massive tech head.)

hi im new here. my names Craige, i have a mk1 escort and had it since i was 15. i see it when i was 13 and said to a mate on my way to school, that car will be mine one day mark my words.,.,. dont know what happened to my mate but i still have that car. she is totally different to how i got her, a real triggers broom, new floors new chassis, bubble arches, capri axle, 2.1 not tested yet with all the goodies, things are coming to an end now and im getting the finishing touches and im wondering if anyone can help in sourcing the lights that are on the back of matt moores silhouette escorts, they look like mustang light but not quite if you know what i mean. hi to you all.
