my osf fleet

[cortinasgoneforaburton]

i dont think ive put all my cars on at once so here goes with a brief description of each one,number 1 my baby started life as a green 1.6L i bought off a guy who had had it 17yr, resprayed it red and "crusadered" it. Its now running a 2.1 burton built cammed up on twin 40S pinto lowered 2" with gaz ajustables all round clear indicators, clear orion rear lights and 2.8 chin spoiler, all dechromed with cooper strips sat on 15" TSW stealths, soon to be changed

not the best pic im afraid. Number 2 a 2.0 L mk1 granada an abay purchase for the number plate which is now on my disco, engine blew up on way home from collection so dropped a 1.6 in her it still goes well,resprayed by me in in one off purple and dechromed five spoke alloys and a vauxhall senator black leather trim.

Number 3 mk2 transit diesel pick up showing 39000miles had one weld on chassis and one on step the interior is like new gets used as a service vechicle

Number 4 a mk4 1.3L 2 door cortina not had this long runs well but needs attention to the interior

all the above are taxed moted and on the road, Now the rest next is my longest owned car but it has been sold to an osf member i just need to deliver it a 1981 mk5 2 dr cortina

Next a 1986 Creg 2.8ghia X granada showing 74000 it came with a new front end just not got round to doing it yet full leather and cossie alloys nice

FINALLY this ones a bit of a dilema an x reg 1.3L mk5 2 door cortina showing 47000miles complete and toally original in everyway except a poor paint job ive had this about 4 year its now a rolling shell i was gonna restore it for my son when he is old enough to drive, but ive now got a mk4 which is rarer so i may take everything off my red 4 door i dont know yet i will proberbly buy something else yet but one will definatley "go for a burton"

i hope you all like my fleet there are of course a couple of oddballs these are a landrover discovery (daily driver) a 190 transit hi cube (coming soon)an opel monza (for sale) and a 52 plate daf CF 32ton tipper just to be awkward .

hi, i am really pleased to know my old mk 4 2 door tina is still around and not been banger raced, i owned this for over 10 years and in that time i had her repainted as she had very flat paintwork, i only sold it due to needing an auto,, when i sold it it needed new hinges on the rear opening windows (impossible to get at the time)and i had to do a banger type hose as i could not get one the right shape(2 hoses joined with a bit of pipe and 2 jubilee clips), but i did fit a chromed thermostat housing on it,,as for the engine it was changed to a mk2 escort 1.3 as the original engine had broke a piston ring, i loved this car and was very sorry to see it go,

[merlin79]

i have a couple of pictures of the mk4 2 door tina from when i owned it, as you can see i changed the wheels a few times, it even had a set of wolfrace wheels on for a short time, i ended up with the RS alloys which i painted the inserts blue to match the bodywork and centre caps pink, well i am a doris, in the whole time i had the car it was always reliable and i still miss it to this day, do you still have the car ?

I used to own SLW 513R as well, i sold it about 2 years ago. It was polybushed by the guy i bought it off, so it handled great for a 1300 lol! I couldnt find any window hinges for it either so i Duck taped the window shut Great to see its still on the road!

 

 

As you can see i ran it with Mex deep dish steels which i thought looked pretty good
