Roo Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Afternoon all. I signed up to your site recently once I had decided to sell my retro Japanese project in favour of a Ford, specifically a Mk2 Cortina. But my budget was limiting me to cars needing work beyond my capabilities and bank balance! During my search though I came across a '69 Taunus, LHD, imported from Belgium with the hard work completed and some modifications already made. The model is an RS 20M coupe, P7 shape, 2.3 Cologne V6, 4 speed manual. She needs some work for sure, but she's useable and presentable as is, so I'm hoping to get niggles sorted through the winter. I will post some pics at the weekend. Cheers
Kieran Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Welcome to Old Skool Ford Get them pics up
Roo Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 Pics as requested! First shots taken by a friend when she arrived home....she's sat in the garage since as i've been at work and had no time to play! She needs some tlc but should be good to go when the show season starts again......
Ale06 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Congratulations mate. I know your Taunus from BuySellCortina forum. You have a very nice example! Cheers from Argentina

Ah, yes, that'll be me! The car's changed a fair bit since the pics on here. Tbh I didn't think peeps on this site were very interested in her so I haven't updated the thread. Loads of pics etc on Retrorides though (same user name) But if you're Essex way then there's a chance I may bump into u @ 8Ball @ the end of the month?!

As I said on fb: I've got some work to do to get her ready for driving any real distance: original front seats are going back in, but more importantly the fuel pump is leaking oil and not giving enough pressure and allowing the fuel to drain back away from the carb when the engine stops. Hoping to install an electric pump Thurs though. Just been reminded about Bury Retro Ford's- 'Cars on the green' next Sunday though too so better get my finger out! Looking forward to finally getting her out to some events and meeting other local enthusiasts!
