YOUNGY Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 definitely not a saxo unless its pink with green neons I wouldn't mind a mk1 escort but there is not many around here and i can't be arsed to travel, unless one comes along.

There was a G reg mk1 up my way for sale, very fair price too, had some good bits on it 2.1 pinto on 45/48s lsd an rocket box,not sure if you would travel up to scotland though lol

bigglesmk2 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Dont see enough trannys on here,maybe a supervan replica Hows your budget?
Admin Vista Posted February 17, 2009 Admin Report Posted February 17, 2009 Van, Anglia or Mk1 / 2 Escort.
vibrating_Cake Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 to be honest whatever car you can get with a good base chassis........... engine+suspension+wheels+tyres etc will have a 99% chance of being changed or upgraded to make them better..... depending on what the idea of the project is... if its a track slag, you'd want the better chassied escort, (the stiffer one, i forget) or something with a good starting engine (like a mildly tuned pinto etc) but if you're looking for concourse theres a whole new barrel of fish.... also if you're looking to do a retroglam... you want a good runner, so thats one thing less to worry about........
TwoLitrePinto Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 one thing less to worry about???? if its a standard xflow or pinto, there is nothing to worry about!
bigglesmk2 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Heres a project http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=92200
mk2_escort_chick Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Anglia estate? I really like em
stephens_xpack Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 £1200 for that mk2 ? You'd have to be radio rental.
YOUNGY Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 thanks for all your comments and idea. I am going to look at a mk1 cortina at the weekend. It was originally ermine white 1500 four door 1964. It has suffered from a bad dark green paint job, it has a set of minilites on it. Depending on the shell, as to whether i buy it or not. If i do buy it the plans are white roof, the early lemon colour, as the missus is gonna drive it. Lotus steels, on the floor either a racy crossflow or a pinto.
cledus Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 sounds nice. Currently trying to get my Mk1 back on the road after years of neglect, Car is metallic magenta but will be going black cherry, running on lotus steels with a hybrid pre-crossflow (711m bottom endm, bda pistons and pre x-flow cylinder head). It should be roadworthy in the next couple of weeks. Let us know how you get on at the weekend.
