ey up mick, you know how i feel about your motor, its the inspiration for this post and my choice of motor, the mk1 is sold so im on the hunt for a 4 door

 

ey up Mr Sprocket! Thanks again for ya kind words about my car both on ere + elsewhere. Can't believe you sold ya mk1 though. Only just finished too after a lengthy resto..

 

Must admit, I'd been after building a 4 door mk2 for a quite a while. At the time, I had a perfectly good 2 door that I could have built up! (now belongs to Yeomans22). I just had to have a 4door though and preferably a ghia. There where a couple of "funky four doors" that had me inspired this very time last year. (& prob a while before too) A visit to CF 08 and some more inspiration confirmed my desicion to get me 4doors in an Escort shape. On the way back from that very event, I dropped by at "Terry Turnovers" gaff to view his silver 16 ghia which was for sale on the bay of e, and ending that very evening. Needless to say, there was a silver silver 16 ghia sat on my driveway @ 9am the following morning!

selling the mk1 was a difficult decision but i will be able to buy and build a nice 4 door (like yours). to be honest its like ive created a monster its just not practical enough, can't do long journeys (20 miles is enough), can't do motorways, it still needs jobs to be perfect (££££) and i've got what i wanted for it

 

just need to find a nice ghia now sell me yours

To be honest, I only built mine as a temporary fix until I get at least one of my other projects finished. However, it has rather grown on me though and it really surpises me the amount of attention it gets when I'm out & about. Always a nice feeling that It's comfy too. I did 120miles around the Peak district last weekend and arrived home feeling quite fresh (and with a big grin) Just done 30+ easy miles this evening too around town

I am considering selling it towards the end of the year. It'll be a very reluctant sale though.

 

..and ironically, I'll be driving a white Mk1 Escort then instead of the Ghia

thats spooky, i did 200 miles round the Peaks last weekend too, difference is I couldn't fookin walk after I would love your motor but I need one in the next couple of weeks if you change your mind let me know, cash waiting

Spooky indeed Mr Sprocket. Good roads n' scenery though. Hard to beat. I certainly stole some of the attention from the 100's of bikes in Matlock bath

I'll have nowt to smoke about in over the summer though if I sell up now. Unless I get an MOT on the 90 quattro. Not OSF though...

I'll ave a ponder & let ya know
