Guest oldfordfan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 Not collected it yet but will be in the next week or so fingers crossed. Currently a bog standard 1300 with a very solid body apart from the rear arches, a bit on the door bottoms and the front valance. First job is to get it home cleaned up and MOT'd so its on the road while I collect all the parts I need. Its getting a 140bhp V**xhall 2 litre OHC(Sorry ) running Injection, modded Carlton sump, Manta 5 speed box with custom prop, lowered with rear tele shock conversion, Capri rear brakes, fronts undecided but possibly Princess 4 pots, probably end up rolling on deep 13inch minilites or Lotus steelies, either way it'll be better thank it is now. Keeping it looking something like it should, just be a bit of a sleeper and leave the Paxo brigade wondering what just wasted them Colour? Dont know yet, long time to decide yet... This is where I found it and where it still is waiting to be sorted.
marky4 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 clean looking motor will look the nuts when done
Guest oldfordfan Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Still waiting to collect it, I haven't old the Ascona yet so cant get this yet

Guest oldfordfan Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Collected it on friday night, cleaned it up and its pretty good. Needs arches and a repair to a door and wings other than that its solid. Crying out to be modded, so will be soon. Ascona For Sale so I can run the Cortina.
