Not going as missus is heavily preggers and my OSF off the road, under the sheet cover due to lack of time and fund...... Sean

Was it in Australia or in USA? Can't tell the difference

Saw it too, was it at Burley Road, Leeds? I passed it almost every day on way to work to Manchester Sean

Saw this afternoon today, nice 2 door mk3 Tawny brown met Cortina (with primer on O/S/F wing) with trailer at the council recyling yard by young lad, look like a student with great taste in OSF. First time I saw that car, anyone here know of this car? Sean

Any automotive paints will react badly on household paint that was applied on the bodyshell, I should know as I was ex-professional paint sprayer till I quit the job couple of years ago. As for paint stripper getting to all seams and trim lines, I usually put layers of masking tape (2" wide tape) over the gaps and seams, then applies paint stripper over one panel at time and scrap the old paint till bare metal then go over to another panel etc, hope it is of help mate Sean

No one knows?

Does the Ford make only one size chrome hubcap for all Mk1 Transits, Escorts, Cortinas etc or they vary in size, i.e- Smaller size hubcap for 12" steel wheel Medium size hubcap for 13" steel wheel Large size hubcap for 14" and Transit wheels?? The reason I am asking this question is that I have recently won the bid on 15" Hillman Minx steel wheels which I will get it banded and put Ford hubcaps on it, but the raised stud is larger and won't fit Ta Sean

Hi I have seen that car you got with mk2 grille at Leeds area, not far from where I live, will not put the name of location due to thieving pikeys lurching on internet sites Nice car and sorry about your day ruined

I am on the look out for garage/unit to rent in West Yorkshire area too, preferbly in Leeds areas. I'm handy on bodywork and respraying as it was my previous job and got 20 yrs experience in this trade. Wouldn't mind sharing the costs for rental on unit with anyone in this site Sean

I'm in West Yorkshire if it is of any help? LOL

Cheers for this info, will look at ebay for this wheels from both Minx and A40

BUMP Anyone can response to my query? Ta

I know Ford put on 14" size steel wheels on Zodiac/Zephyr models but I have seen some 15" on them but not sure it was for extra option or sport range?

Can anyone can tell me which OSF cars that come out new from the factory from the 50's, 60's or 70's on standard 15" steel wheel with chrome hubcap on it? Also is it 4 stud or 5 stud fixment? Ta

Wonder if you're selling the 15" wheels as pic shown in your post above ^^^?? Ta

That pics from French scrapyard that hijacked to this USA topic, notice the French reg plates on last few photos on page 5 Sean

Look great Where did you get 15" banded steelies from? I got 10" wide 13" banded steels that I am thinking of selling as it is too wide for standard unarched mk1 Escort See my photo Soz if I hijacked your post? LOL Sean

Silver met paint Dark red leather interior with ali inserts Slightly tint windows Cool ICE system with DVD/PS3 Slammed on 15" steel wheels painted in gunmental grey met with chrome Ford hubcaps Audi 2.5 TDi with 6-speed g/box Tastefully or what?

OSF Spotted Forum locked? Any idea why? Sean

I think it is crossflow type engine, older verison of 950cc engine that the Fiesta use in the 70's? Here the photos -

I got 940cc engine sitting on my LHD mk1 Escort and it is runner, fancy put it on your Fiesta for temporary till you get hot motor on Viper Fiesta? Sean

Don't think that was from the states, I can see the steering wheel, it is RHD mk2, could be NZ or Aussie?

I have spotted it 1st on French ebay but the asking price was £3k or more...so out of my price range Sean

Yeah, me too, got a place at San Jose, CA, we are going there this Thurs for 3 weeks and hopefully I can manage to make my missus change her mind and live in USA permantly, then I'll bring OSF to Cali I'm sick and tired of rip-off Britain with goverment taking everything from us with sleath taxes
