What got you into oldskoolfords

[RossMK2]

my family have always had fords and always will. they gone through the years to keep with the times

 

my dad always told me about his first car was a mk1 escort me being into boy racer cars i had no idea what he was on about

 

the one day he spotted classic ford in a news agents with a mk1 on the cover and showed me. i had the mag looke through and had every issue since. i was interested from then but what really got conviced me and got me completely hooked was the history of the ford escort film that was on men and motors about a week after seeing the cf mag

always been a Ford fan. My first street legal car in 1967 was a 1953 E93A Popular. Started buying 100Es after that and first modified car was a 100E Squire Estate. Kept the flat 4 but decked the head, overbore with Hepolite pistons and converted crank to shell bearings, 4 branch manifold from Downton and a single solex carb of a 2.4 MKI Jag. 4 speed 105E box. Lowered 2 inches all round and 5.5J wheels. Those were the days! Not so easy to upgrade brakes in those days so used commercial rated fluid and drove in big boots!

when me and my mates past our tests they all went for crxs and pugs I went for a mk2 cortina 13 deluxe because it was all i could afford and it looked cool.

I got back into old fords because of lager and gambling and laying off them
