anybody ever feel that there a lack of standard osf's. i love all the modding of the cars and i am doing stuff to mine but its rare to see a completly standard one. for this reason if i sold mine i would put back to standard

[Jiffer]

my mk1 gt cortina is basicly standard with just the odd tweek but looks like the mk2 is going to get the treatment,

i do love to see a totaly original osf but it does send a tingle down my spine when you see the work thats done to some of the cars today.

[trakevlyn]

mine is standard and to be honest i cant remember the last time i saw a standard 2 door escort and i get coments all the time like what are your plans for it

[garyv6100e]

I do like to see standard OSF's it is always good to see them how they were back in the day but since i was 17 i have modified every OSF i have owned

[joe1600]

Mines basically standard, just converted it to disc brakes n put 13" wheels on it. I love all of the modin but i like the factory sporty look 2

[SebringRS]

Mine standard at the moment

 

Well a standard RS

 

But im sorry to say this, maybe not for long

[tom28]

its because they all look nicer tarted up

[RossMK2]

i know they look good modded and i modding mine i think its a shame there not more standard ones

[In The Pit]

I prefer the standard cars and your right there is a lack of them. Years ago when standard cars were still on the road being used by people who had no interest in cars people would mod theirs to look different now they are all modded it does seem that more people are going for the standard or sleeper look to look different. My five MKII Escorts and one MKV Cortina are all 100% standard down to original push button radios and they'll stay that way too.

[RossMK2]

i have kept my interior satandard by leaving centre consule push button radio in and putting cassete in glovebox with some pioneer speakers under the seats

[Retromotorsport]

Sorry , but standard just dosnt float my boat, perhaps its because i first started pulling escorts apart in '84

 

and .. a recent poll proved that members prefer modified

[RossMK2]

i do like modified as much as the next person as you can see with my sig pic mines not standard i just like seeing stardard cars too

[Yeomans22]

i like all osf's

 

but if your doing to mod it keep it to what stuff that was around when they wern't old skool.

 

mine was a standard 1100l when i got it, but now its startign to look more like a sport, but it doesn't have 1 modern thing on it, still running points etc.

I'd say there are plenty of standard cars out there, but not many on OSF. if you go to the shows you'll see loads probably lol

 

I'm with retro personally. I love 'em altered/modded/better. No crossplies or dynamos for me

same as i like a car driven not trailered to shows and races

[atomic punk]

Surely modding is all part of the fun of owning old Fords?

[RossMK2]

yeh just never see many standard ones tho

[rsdaz]

its nice to see the odd standard car at a show but i much prefare a modded one,its what makes the osf scene so good.

[RossMK2]

i agree

[Mk2Jo]

Pete ... you could not handle anything modified

Have you not walked past the concourse section at a show... rows and rows of standard cars , only difference is the paint, ohh and the wrong self tapping screw thats hidden up under the dash that cost the car a win because it had a small flange on the head and Ford didnt use flange headed screws untill oct 1979 and the car in question was a 77

 

And as for standard... what as in you could buy it from Ford ?

 

well you could buy a bubble arched , turreted and shortlinked Mk1 in '73 , the part number 9051 704 (right hand drive) 705 (lhd)

 

So all the bubble arched cars could be called standard !

[FredTransit]

I like a standard classic, but would not go as far as concorse. Be different, keep/make it standard....
