neilthomas Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 Hi all thought i would introduce myself this is my first ford and dont know alot about them! Ive had it about 2 months now its a 1968 mk1 with a sierra cosworth 2wd engine, its stage 3 running 350 bhp (but its missing like hell at the moment) with a quaife lsd and box, the front is space framed which also the roll cage, the flip front isnt fibre glass it has been made from the original bonnet and wings, im hoping i can find out some history on it if anyone knows anything please let me know in the 2months of owning it ive fitted new cosworth 4 pot front brakes, full stainless 3'' exhaust and now the engines out being fully rebuilt Neil 1

l j shaw Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 Welcome.....if its the car I think it.........it was in Lincoln in 2002, running a mild pinto, and different rims, I will ask the owner at that time if he built it, ...it's the sort of thing he did. I can see a few things which are the same, and I'm sure not replicated on any other conversion.

Hi mate yes I think this is the one, someone on turbosport said they think it was from lincoln and the guy who had it was called mark? Would be great if it is, would love to get some history on it!
