AERO_ADY Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 After ten years me & my 72 Tax free Mk1 parted company a few months ago. I restored her over a period of two years & I had three glorious years of driving her. I took it off the road as some Knob decided to key it all around it. Since then I lost interest & stood it up until recently when I done a deal with a mate for a 1968 2000E Corsair & a nice handful of cash. When I got it it was a total rot box. I pulled it out of a field after standing there with no windows. It was a temperamental job as she almost came out in two bits After many hours of welding & new panels I fitted 2.0 EFi Pinto Type 9 five speed RS Prop, 3.54:1 Diff Panhard Rod Anti Tramp bars Spax Adjustable Shocks Single De Cambered Rear Leafs Polly Bush All round Sierra Rear Calipers & Fiesta Mk1 Discs Capri 2.8i Struts & Brakes Dropped The Front 3 Inch 4-2-1 Down Pipe Nice Peco Exhaust K&N Delivering it to my mates All good things must come to a end. It might be a end of a ere but it's the start of a new one
lotusless Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 A shame you sold it but times change i suppose, at least you still have an osf
AERO_ADY Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Posted December 13, 2012 It was not a easy decision, but how I had to look at it was that it's just sitting there starting to rust again so it's better to let someone have it that will hopefully do it & appreciate it. Couldn't be without a OSF as it wouldn't be worth living
crazyford Posted December 25, 2012 Report Posted December 25, 2012 is a shame mate.looks a nice car.but uv got a new project.good luck with it.havent had an osf for about 7 years now.moving back to england next year.back to the classic seen.cant wait.

AERO_ADY Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Evening Dave. I wondered how long it would take you to see this thread. Your slacking mate, it took ages. You spoiled it telling everyone that's you in the pic because I was hoping everyone was thinking I was the good looking one.
fb1 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Dont worry mate, you can be the young one! Might pop round tomoro if i get time and you about. Want to see the corsair.
AERO_ADY Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Won't be going anywhere far tomorrow, may just nip to workshop and rob a bit of the Cortina, you know I'll be two minutes from home. Bell me first mate. You can let me have my present from Oz then

AERO_ADY Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Posted January 4, 2013 Oh I told you to bring 8 bars instead of 9 bar's
