fefu17 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi everyone, I am from Malta and we have 2 escorts in the family This ermine white mk1 is a 1969 1300 super, bought new by my dad (still has original bills of sale). It has all the original body panels, engine, no welding etc. Mods incl. MAG GT wheels, alfa romeo back box, highlift cam, astrali wheel. Whereas this diamond mk2 is a 1975 1300 popular. I am the 3rd owner being previously owned by my dad since 1980. It was restored some years ago and I used it daily until recently as I bought a 1.7 puma. It's quite standard apart from superlites, rs wheel and some later spec items like grille and badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fefu17 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 sure need to take some better pics when I have the time and mk1.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fefu17 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Not much of an update. Resprayed the bonnet and heater bubble of the mk1, refurbished the rad and cleaned the engine bay a bit. Also fitted the original steering wheel: As for the mk2, it was put back into daily use whilst the fiesta is in a sorry state. Started first time without even needing a battery charge after more than 6 months in the lock-up...good boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fefu17 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Haven't updated this thread for a while now.
