Thank you, the dent in the front wing is down to the Mrs (honest). I should've put the whole car behind the wall so obviously it's my fault.

I noticed that little dent but by todays standards such a small accident is nothing compared to having a car in that good condition. I remember back in the day though, before computer matching, no one cold ever seem to get that copper colour to match on any repairs!

 if the photo was any better you'd see evidence of that difficulty in colour-matching, but I still love my car even in spite the peeling rear seat

4 Door or not - that is sweet! Downdraft Webers as well - very nice engine bay! Are the wheels 14 or 15" - do you know?

I think they are 15s. Those look like 3 piece Simmons wheels which I dont think came in 14s for Escorts.

I was out in mine today. Covered about 50 miles and all ok. The 45 dcoe really suit the engine and better than the 38dgas I had. This year I am hoping to get it painted in May, found a local guy. Moved into the mexico steelies which I prefer.

Popped up the road for a brew with the wife yesterday and this Ford Falcon GT parked up across the road. Absolute cracker and zero snobbery about it ‘only’ being a 4 door in Australia.

You did ! Could you find a less 'boy racer'ed' car LOL!

That little Prefect is nice & cute . . . . . . . . . . and verrrrrry Shiny!

In its time that was the fastest 4 door sedan in the world. Now at a quarter of a million quid (Sterling!) for one in that condition I think the boy racers are pretty much locked out of that market these days!

Ok here’s a few I didn’t post from a car show up in Townsville. There was lots of great stuff up there but I’ll try and restrict it to just the Fords.

Apologies if any GM slipped in as I’m not all that familiar with Aussie tin.

Ooroo.
