Old pics of yourself

[Johnny Boy]

I had a 1980 Opel Kadett 1300SR. I bought it with the Cam worn out at 18 months old. I rebuilt the engine with a high compression Modded head Kent Cam and twin 40 dcoe webers. 

I sold the car with out the head carbs cam, to another mechanic I knew.

The same 38 year old Weber 40 dcoes , that I kept in the barn , are now on my Cortina.😁

Nice, I cant find a photo of my Kadett just now.

It was a hatchback shape, but didnt have a hatchback, it had a boot.

Bright yellow, with black lower and arch extensions.

Had a silver GTE when I was 19. Nice car fair play. Actually taught my missus to drive in it. 

Sold it at a strong profit and bought another red Mk2 RS.

Here's me in about 1995 ish.

I've still got the series one 80, just thinking of selling it soon 🙄

Extra points for the make and model of my other car at the time, on the drive.

2 points as it was only half a car at 11 months old!

When you see the condition of the Escort scrap yard finds that  are being restored.

There wasn't that much rust in them😬

My old 3.0S. Probably around 1990.

My more door circa Jan 1977, after we’d crowbarred  the drivers door off the steering wheel. A Bristol Double Decker on snow is not a thing to tangle with. Fortunately only cashflow got hurt, It was a seamed shell and I was wearing a safety belt.

Yes it had scrubbed up well that day. To be fair because we don't have Mexicos or Mk1 RS2000s (apart from a limited batch of 25 for racing) the Mk1 category can be a bit thin on entries. It would never even get a placing in a British event I dont think.
