New owner and a couple of questions!

[mk2 mike]

Hi guys, I've been a member of the forum for a while but not posted much as I haven't had a Ford for a long time until today!

 

However I'm mega excited as I’ve just bought a mk2 escort after years of promising myself another one. It’s been about 15 years since I last owned a ford, and way to long!

 

My new one is a 2 door 1.6 GL (was 1.3 originally) apparently has less than 60,000 miles from new and only 750 since engine rebuild. It’s had some done work done to it already as listed here,(Taken from the advert) -

It’s really clean and straight but needs a few touches to get it how I want it. With that in mind I have a few questions I’m hoping you experienced people may be able to help with.

 

1.It’s had all its badges removed prior to the re-spray. I’ve had a look on fleabay but there appears to be a few different sizes. Does anyone know what size the front oval grille badge and boot lid oval should be? Or any other recommended places to get these?

 

2.Is there a diagram available showing the position of the rear boot lid badges?

 

3.Are replacement VIN plates available?

 

 

I’m sure there's loads more questions I’ll have as I get into it but I don’t want to be a pain and ask them all now! I’ll get some pics up when I collect it next weekend.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Mike.
