Well I've made 10 posts so here goes...

I own the only Corsair I've ever seen, we have some Cortinas(mostly MkI), a few more Capris, you don't want to know what a shitbox the US escort is. We have no "real" escorts.

First is my Capri

Next my turbo Pinto "banger" race car.

Last is my '56 Ford car hauler project. It was a beer delivery truck!

I'll post up the Corsair in the project section as I make progress.

Nice mate, did the mk1 capri come as standard with the indicators in the front grill over there?

Yes, the indicators came that way. That car was a 1974 so in the US it came with 5 mph bumpers, which were these huge shock absorbed things. As well as all this weird emissions controll stuff. After 25 years cars are no longer inspected here(you wish) so I was able to pull all that crap off. The nose of the car raised up as if I had taken the engine out!! I had to cut 2 coils off!

The climate is great for storing cars, I'm amazed at what gets rebuilt in Europe or even in the north east US. The old cars here are plentiful, I've only posted up my Fords. If only I could get a MK I escort.
