M11rf Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 Old fords have taken hold of my head again!! I just missed out on this last weekend... I'm in talks with a guy at the moment though about a Mk1 2 door cortina Wating for some more pics of it... Will keep ya updated
Posse Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 Are you still out there m8 with the lady boys?
M11rf Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Posted September 30, 2007 If thats the way you wanna put it Darren
Posse Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 lol sorry i can't remember where it was.I bet you get them cheap won't ya? Are parts still available out there?
RFChris Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 Hmmm, i'd say it's no bad thing that you missed out that particular 'gem'
M11rf Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Posted September 30, 2007 Parts - not really many Escorts about. Very few infact... I dont know anyone who has even seen a Mk2 escort here. Mk1's are more popular... but still, there are only a few about... and parts are VERY limited. But i have met a guy at a garage here and his restoration work is amazing. Some of the jobs he has done, it is impossible to tell he has done anything, but i know he has as i have seen the before and after... Heres hoping for the Cortina
escortmad79 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 It's got Datsun mudflaps!! Has it been scrapped now then?
blower Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 i dont think they scrap anything in thailand good luck with the tina
Richierich Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Hmmm, i'd say it's no bad thing that you missed out that particular 'gem' Yeah looks a a bit too gone for anything other than a few bits, nice find tho! Cortina looks cool, original lotus?
M11rf Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Posted October 2, 2007 Cortina looks cool, original lotus? Not sure, the guy still hasn't got back to me! Dont think the mk1 will have been scrapped... or maybe it has... Seen some other nice little bits too... this datsun looks Mint and so does this pick up... But i want an escort or mk1 cortina
M11rf Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Posted October 2, 2007 Some other little bits that caught my eye recently... 4 door look very tidy!! - Shame its a 4 door though!!! and this Capri looks interesting... anyone got any info about it??? Crayford???
tazrocks88 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 wat shame its a 4 door nowt wrong with a 4 door loads on here will tell u that
turner Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 I am surprised to see an escort as mint lookin as the silver 4 door over there !!! nice to see some tidy motors surviving without the parts back up we have here. Good luck with your search
Mr Sam Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 what engines the 4 door got, or just a different pinto cover
flyingbanana Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 wat shame its a 4 door nowt wrong with a 4 door loads on here will tell u that they do the same thing GOING SIDEWAYS
james p Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 wat shame its a 4 door nowt wrong with a 4 door loads on here will tell u that ill back that up nothin wrong with a 4 door nicer to the wallet too
M11rf Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 I want a 2 door... sorry... had a 4 door mk2 escort before, it was as fun as the 2 door, i agree, but 2 doors always look better The search continues.............................. I think the engine in the Mk1 is a Toyota... there are fooking 1000's of the things here!!!
blower Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 if theres 1000s of the things about it will be no problem for spares including aircon
M11rf Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Posted October 7, 2007 Well... the Mk1 is too expensive for me (i think)... I dont know exactly how much he wants as he wont tell me a price, i haven't seen any other pictures and the car is 12 hours drive away from where i live... But i spotted this which is close to where i live... more in my price range... Also there is this capri... but looks like it need some cash spending on it...
M11rf Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Posted October 12, 2007 The best part - Nissan SR20 engine!! Just looking at this... again it 12 hours away though. Looks in great cond, but a little bit out of my price range and not really the car i want... He says it 200bhp, new rear axle, intercooler, turbo timer, most of the things on the car have been re-newed. He says he did 200kmph but after that he was scared... Maybe go take a look.......................
antz Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 wat shame its a 4 door nowt wrong with a 4 door loads on here will tell u that my thoughts exactly anyway back on topic.....i saw a mk2 cortina going down silom road when i was there....was very tidy!
