My New Old Mk1 Mexico

[autonet7]

Here are some pics of my newest toy and one of the non blue oval BL type badge

 

As found in a barn after a wash. Paint was as flat as a pancake. The mickey mouse mudflaps were the firt thing to go.

 

 

Lots of good plans to get the rally stuff out, and a standard interior back. Someone has mullered the wiring, so a new loom is on its way. The lights, roll cage and fibreglass bonnet are due to go. The twin 40's need a good tune up and need to source a good 1600 OHV engine to replace the 2.2 that's currently in there.

 

The other car currently on the road isn't a Ford but the Sprint actually goes faster than the Escort at the moment. Choctastic !
