Savvi Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Ok i have a early J reg Mk1 escort 1300gt originally ............ now has 2.1 pinto, 5 speed suspension mods etc. I'm just replacing the front panel so should i fit a round or retangle type, as originally fitted ? I have both panels and lights to suit
garyv6100e Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I voted to keep it as Ford intended for the GT so rectangle for me
Vilho Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 As in the twincams, rectangular, not seen so often!
Savvi Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Posted January 22, 2011 Seems my gut instint was right then I intended to fit rectangle in fact i went & bought a panel after buying the car supplied with a round one That last pic looks mint mate .................... love it Alot of bods will know the car ...............
Mick The Cabbie Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Rectangle as Ford intended for GT's Lovely car btw. I've seen that a couple o' years back

morcheen Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Rectangle for me too,but how hard are the headlights to get ?
Mick The Cabbie Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Sadly i dont think it will be staying with me for too long You never keep em for too long!
Savvi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 I have the lights still, you can buy uprated ones from Oz .... so i've been told. I've moved house since i bought it and also bought my mint Mk2 Ghia which i love being so original also still have my blue van I'm looking at moving my business back home and although have a large shed it's 1/2 the size of the current workshop But we'll see what happens this year with work etc.
dalmarshall Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Yeh those lights are on ebay aus and take H4 halogen bulbs. I'll invest in some when i'm a bit more flush!!! Your GT looks lovely mate, I could be interested if it comes up for sale in the future
Savvi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 I think it will be this one that goes .......... van is my 1st choice kids & missus love the Ghia ......... but i'll see when it's back togeather again, i bought it stripped down as the previous owner was going to have it painted and some panels replaced, he started it but then something else came up that he wanted I'll have a look on ebay, i know someone who brings them in from Oz but he's not given me a price yet.
dalmarshall Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Heres the link for the lights. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :MEWAX:VRI
Savvi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks Just found it !!!! I've asked if any discount for a couple of sets
dalmarshall Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 I was about to suggest the same , maybe even some sort of group buy to reduce the postage cost. There a few on here with em. I'm deffo getting some soon one way or another Let us know what they say
gearbox100 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/product ... sp?prod=29 we fitted these bulbs to our old 1300gt, there halogen but with the bulb fitting , made the lights very good .Might be a cheaper option for halogen maybe . gearbox
Savvi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 About a £100 a pair. When will you have some more in
meXEco Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Not had any in yet mate-was gonna order 4 sets-1 for myself,1 for someone else on TS and try and sell the other 2 sets to make some beer money. Let me know if you want a pair i'll see if i can get them ordered soon.
dalmarshall Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Keep me posted too mate, i'd have a pair
Savvi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 Well if i have a pair as wellyou can get them ordred Think it works out about the same price either way anyway. My front panel is going on this week so i'll be looking to fit headlights by the middle of Feb i'm guessing, if i can get it painted, if not they will be going in straight away to have a play in it
