Jiffer Posted December 26, 2012 Report Posted December 26, 2012 now I'm a cortina man but this car was my best mates a lad called Dickie. we picked it up about seventeen years ago and started to lay the plans and buy the bits ready to pep it up a bit. a few months later we got bikes and the escort was put away in the garage. this is now the reason its mine, sadly he was killed in a bike accident not long after. his dad came to see me just before xmas and said i could have it if I wanted it for a donation to rcpca, the amount is not important, the escort hadn't turned a wheel till we dragged it out of the garage the other week about 16 years. so heres some pics of the car and a few of the bits we got for it. I have a plan in mind but want it to look like fairly standard 1300E but with a warmed up heart.
lotusless Posted December 26, 2012 Report Posted December 26, 2012 Sorry about you friend Geoff, but a nice way to remember him with the escort. Is it a 1300E or a look-alike ?
Jiffer Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Posted December 26, 2012 louie had a look and said its a 1300e

The Transplanter Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Nice way to remember your friend too, makes it even more worthwhile doing That ^^^ Would be nice to keep it as an original "E", or how about doing to it what your friend intended (if you know that is)
