Haynes - Ford Escort and Cortina Mk I and Mk II Restoration Manual

[DT36]

Anybody have this book and what's your thoughts on it?

Christmas coming up and people are asking "what can I get you?" 

Got to be better than a jumper I won't wear

Given your car is basically finished and pristinely excellent, isnt that a bit like closing the door after the horse has bolted? LOL If you read it you will will unhelpfully start questioning yourself, "sh*t I did that wrong maybe I need to start again!" Jokes aside I would go for it! I havent received a gift that even remotely reflects me or my interests in years, mostly just cash in a card lol  I wouldnt mind that manual myself actually and previously another time I did get a well thought out gift it was also a book along similar lines.

I suspect Col would like it for Christmas too

In the prefix of the escort and cortina book it states ' rob a bank before commencing any resto to ensure quality !'.....lol

I treated myself to  4.99 bobble hat with a built in LED light. Used it today.

You have an aura about you thats quite blinding.

Think I'll put it on my list then for Santa.

Went out for a meal earlier with my Missus, Kids and their partners and got given this by them after our food. 

Boot and spoiler are now gone though, so can't confirm the C Pillar trims...

Personally I would have eaten the droopsoot first to make it a flatnose!

There are not many Escort owners that can say they can have their cake and eat it too!

(Sorry someone had to say it!)

For my 50th my wife had a mk1 rs2000 cake made. Will try and get a picture.

This is before it had a rear dink:

That's really cool. Your kids have gone to a lot of effort to do that for you. Is it tasty? I think it would be tastier in black though!

[khanlad]

Thats superb

Cheers all. Cake was nice, but is all gone now. 

Fair play to the lady that makes them. She's done a few different cakes for us over the years, but this one did put a big grin on my face when my two gave it to me.
