I became a member of this oldskool ford club so I might get some ideas of getting some updates about my old cars life after I sold it. Anything that any one might know about its owner or recent work it's had done to it would be great. All I have is a photo of it I found online witch has a banner on the windscreen saying oldskool ford so that's why I'm trying all you members. Wish me luck. New member Tony. what my old car looks like now. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk 1
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted June 20, 2016 Moderator Report Posted June 20, 2016 Love the comparison photos. Looks like you gave it full use back in the day.
hensont151 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Posted June 20, 2016 Thanks for your reply. I did.i loved driving it. The sound was amazing from the exhaust and the best thing was people didn't realise that it was fast so I did surprise a few other car drivers when I pulled away from them lol.

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted June 20, 2016 Moderator Report Posted June 20, 2016 You must have jumped out of your seat when you found the last photo online? There is a old members photo section you might like to pop your first photo there as well if thats you in the photo. 1
hensont151 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 I did I was shocked to see the pic online to be honest. Thanks for the tip I will try that section and let you know if I get any feedback. And yes that's me in the photo. I had hair back then lol. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk
mk2 mike Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 It now belongs to my mate Dale. Here's a video of us a couple of years back on a run from Boxhill. https://youtu.be/567IZ4C1eA4 https://youtu.be/kz3qeG5R7Vk It's typical I had dozens of photos on my phone of the car but deleted them about 6 weeks ago to make space [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted June 21, 2016 Moderator Report Posted June 21, 2016 Beautiful looking car ....................... apart from the blue wheels (sorry!)
mk2 mike Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Beautiful looking car ....................... apart from the blue wheels (sorry!) I think colour coded wheels look the dogs danglies. Much better than boring silver IMO. [emoji1303] 1
hensont151 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 Hi to you mk2mike. I'm soo happy I have finally got a link to the car I once owned. Thanks for the information and brilliant video plus picture.can you let Dale your mate know that I have history of his car and would love to know about its journey after I sold it to my brother. It would be great to hear about it as I am very pleased to see it in such great condition after all this time. Thanks again for the information Mike. Tony. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk 1
hensont151 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 Hi to Rally pack 2000 Thanks for your reply again and I now have a link to my old mk1 present owner and a video of it so I'm very happy with the progress I've made and maybe I might get all the history of the work done on it and stuff since I sold it back then. Watch this space lol. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk 1

[emoji1303] I think it looks great in the black spoked ones pictured above. I do love the car very much but Im biased towards Mk1 RS2000s it must be said. I actually kinda like it as a plain beat up run around with no bumpers too. Great classic photo. 1
hensont151 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks I always wanted to get it resprayed back then I was about 20 when I owned it can you believe it. Insurance for this car today would be interesting lol. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk You'd be surprised, even with modifications they're reasonably cheap to insure as they're bona-fide classics now.

I meant to ask what car you have.I've got close to finding the owner of my old mk1 and all the recent work done on it. My brother Michael once owned a mk2 escort 1600 sport in black with blue decals and then he had a mk2 escort Harrier in silver. Does anyone have a Harrier these days.
