Distastefully Modified Old Skool Fords - Show us your worst!

[buzzard]

About time we had a Cortina amongst all these 70's Escorts

Not seen Crome kens car for years. . He s gone all the way now . A bit far for me though

[puddy]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh , The Beast .

 

Rememberseeing that at Lakeside cruise back in the day ,

 

I did not even realise it was based on a Capri !

 

Mind you ,with a Rolls Royce merlin engine under the bonnet it was hardly surprising .

This was the first version that led to the court case. The car resides in Spain now though does appear in the UK occasionally. And I think it's a Meteor engine not a Merlin, as the Merlin was never designed to run a transmission.

Looks very different now though

[colr6]

Certainly not like a good wine that improves with age!

Front end kinda reminds me of Blinky, the three eyed fish from the Simpsons!

[accord83]

You'd still roll it, 27 litres? Of course you would, and mash the loud pedal like a King 

[HotRodMatt]

And that SD1 that PPC mag have.

Or a fuzzy monster even donning the recent topic of colour ORANGE!

 

[colr6]

Just looking at the changes made, rear quarter from Reliant kitten/ scimitar?

[HotRodMatt]

Scimitar I think it was.

[colr6]

A fitting place to end up being fibreglass joining the rest of the gob!

[Rally Pack 2000]

Looks very different now though

 

That belongs in the Adults Only Section, you can scare the kids with that............................... and the dog.

[weepeeps]

Yeah that's the one, the second pictures, not sure about it being pink lol. I remember that each of the sidepipes had white heat cut out of them! So cool for an impressionable 17 yr old with his first cortina mk2 that cost him a whole £70! I so wanted to make mine something special, and to me I did. Rostyle wheels with general grabber tyres, thrush hush box on my gt system, spot lamps, red light on the standard axle! Lancia front seats, air horns and the loudest radio cassette I could afford so probably about a tenner! Registration KTT497E, I will never forget my first car.

Thrush hush box ?!?! Is that the 70s version of caneston combi?

[Vista]

Confess that I quite lik this Van conversion, except maybe the flames. Do you know this one JP?

Ah yes. In my defence, that was over a year ago and I normally dismiss most of what happened the previous week as no longer required. That raised roofline in the pics you posted isn't so attractive. Better without the flames though.

[mrusedcarguy]

Gotta be honest I kinda like that Capri van.

[colr6]

Does look quite good from some angles, not many though

I think if they'd kept the roof line level it might have looked quite good.

Or just left as a Capri with arches and wheels on!

[puddy]

Looks like it could be an Aussie Capr-ute ,very sort after ............
