Abandoned, Dumped and Forgotten!

[Rally Pack 2000]

I thought I would expand this thread for anyone to post those lost and abandoned Old Skool Fords

Searching for parts can be an adventure. How far will you go to get that elusive original part?

To be fair I've seen worse than that for sale on Ebay UK labelled as a barn find!

[notenoughtime]

I’d restore that lol

A spot the difference puzzle. Is the bottom image a different car or van or the same car as the first two?

[notenoughtime]

Same I reckon

If diving is a bit claustrophobic for you just drain Hampstead Heath.

Theyd make great posters if not a little sad to see.

I think with less oxygen, it might rust slower than if left out exposed to the elements. 

Could be wrong though.

A beside the barn find? Doesn't look much wrong with this all you need is a mow and go!

One thing I have noticed in putting together images for this thread is that almost all appear as stunning pieces of photographic art. Even as you say a little sad.

Is that taken in your own yard @eeb43? 🥰

[Rally Pack 2000]

Is this what the experts refer to as well planted when talking about Old Skool Fords?

[Rally Pack 2000]

Its a floater.

[Rally Pack 2000]

Let me guess, ummmmm it was a wall right?

[katana]

Nah - more likely a lamp post or a tree - we have lots of those over here and even though they are wood, metal generally comes off worst!

[notenoughtime]

Tree I reckon 

[Rich T]

Telegraph pole i reckon.

I did the same in my 1982 320.

I think that might be the Capri that hit my mother in law. Is it in S.Wales.

She had to have a week off work when that hit her in the late 80s.

I don’t think I’d like to meet your inlaw!! If she can do that much damage when she wasn’t looking, what can she do when she puts her mind to it.....lol

Your Mother in Law? That begs the delicate question was there a Capri in your list of cars in the late 80's? 😮
