Black Mk1 Escort

[SteveP]

Hi,

Thought i'd get round to posting this at some point - this is my '73 Mk1:

 

 

 

Went for the Rat Look as you can clearly see

 

She was originally a base 1100L, then a 1300L, she's now running round with an (out of tune) Pinto, which seems to be running a bit too warm

 

 

The odd washer bottle is due to me not fitting the ford one back properly once, after a long drive i was smelling burning plastic cos it fell onto the X/F exhaust

 

Right now I've just finished installing the alarm, and in the middle of filling her to the gunnels in cavity wax

 

I'll have to see if I can get to some Essex meets in the next few weeks...

I really like these in black.............

 

When you say Essex meet, there are loads of people up for one but nobody seems to want to organise it.
