midnight blue, best colour for a MK2.

[fefu17]

mint car very nice colour combination

[Top Ghia]

Thanks for the comments,Im told the combination of midnight blue,blue interior and manual box is quite rare for a ghia which were often speced with metalic paint and auto box.

nice ghia looks realy realy tidy

. myns got the same colour interior i was thinking about puting it back in but after seeing yours its abit too much. myns strip out race spec at mo lol

[Top Ghia]

Have to say when i saw photos of this car before i bought it i thought its just too blue...but on seeing it in the metal i changed my mind.

[supersport]

i had a 1.3GL in the same colour, but never had it on the road.

Nice car with good potential!!

Keep it simples. Simples works best on 4doors.

 

BTW, the old 16Sport & its ending looks familiar. Did you & it live out Coalville way back in the 80's????

Nice car that ive not seen it before.whats under the bonnet? not a Xflow by the look of it.

 

I remember losing an hour or two reading your posts about the escort im in awe of your skills mate! What are you working on at the Mo?

[Mick The Cabbie]

Thanks mate. That kind of feedback is very much appreciated!

 

My time is currently split between doing some rolling improvements to my YB turbo'd Starlet & the restoration of the Anglia Van in my siggy. Theres a build thread on the van somewhere, which I havent updated for a couple of years due said Escort distracting me...

 

The blue Escort is running a very nice sounding pinto on side drafts
