stevegav Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 WOW ! Some of these conversions look absolutely outstanding. Beautiful is an understatement. I was planning as soon as my car is Aesthetically correct to rebuild the original xflow with the extra gee-gees . As you all know, that isn't cheap and at the end of the day it will still look the same (no point opening the bonnet at shows) . I'm new to this, a reborn i guess (12 osf back in the day) . I thought it was all about originality, back to your roots. ????

While I think an original engine look is a fascinating thing and respect to those that are able to achieve that I do believe your average Pinto and Kent engine to be a bit bland and that with the addition of a few nondescript "Bling" bits you can highlight the engine that people will still wow when you open the bonnet.

HotRodMatt Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 I prefer modified cars as I get bored easy looking at two cars that are the same. That said, if there is a mint, detailed, original example then I spend quite a bit of time looking it over.

colr6 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Must admit I agree with Hotrodmatt, my attention span would be longer on an original mint car. There was a green mk1 cortina at CF would say 99% totally original owned by an old guy who problably had it from new. You know the type with the flags in the window ' I've been to Bognor Regis' it was a pure credit to him how he'd kept it and used it. That type of car will get my praise all day long! 1
mk2ratter Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Depends on purpose There are loads of mad trackday / rally / race cars out there, and stunning original and modified show cars that all serve there own purpose One thing about old fords your not short of variety 1
colr6 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 Well got everything in that's going in !! Not looking forward to polishing it before CF though. 5
