Me and my Mate Evil as passenger in 1986.  Both 17 at the time. I was home on leave from the Army, so we were giving it a bit of gravel practice in my 1300 Sport.

 

Later I fitted a 1750 crossflow from Bracknell Autosport  and had it forest arched and resprayed. Traded that in for a 2.0S Capri when I was 19, as I was up and down the motorway so much.

 

2nd set of RS pics is exactly the same place 28 years later, only now tarmaced. Looks like the only thing that's grown up is the trees...

me, my wife and son at brands hatch with my escort in 1997(I am much more handsome 18yrs on lol)

I think you should do this photo shot again, in front of another MK1 (assuming you don't have that one any longer :) )

Hopefully this will work, me around 1993 after the car had just been restored so looking like new.

If this works I will add a few before, during and after pics as it was a state, being 22 I had run it into the ground...as you do/did!!

Wow it worked first time? Don't really have before, just during and after. Although you can see the state of the poor car, even the wheels and then the finished article, only to do about 600 miles before time stood still for her. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Last image was about 7 years back.....Hope I haven't posted too many here, as not many of these have pictures of me in them.

Cheers.

I actually pushed her out for the above photo as I was selling her, so although she still looked the part body wise, probably closer to 15 years unused. 3 daughters take up a lot of time and money, just the way it goes. but yes I suppose a little  :crazy: is a fair comment.

The time gap between the top pic with the finished car and me next to it and the bottom selling pic probably about 17 years, so she has been stored in good conditions. I have literally just bought a mega service kit from Tickover and the plan is to make one show before the end of September, hopefully anyway.
