One of my old Mk1 Mexicos

[Mash]

Bought a rough old shell from some geezer near Manchester, and built it up with bits from the local scrapyard. In those days, you could get pretty much any part you wanted for Mk1s. Built it in my mates corrugated steel shed 😁

Your not wrong it wasn't that long ago if you knew the right ones you still could . But then the money went up and all the cheap bits disappeared only to turn up at auto jumbles for double the price!

I bought my fully MOTed Twincam in the early 90s for two thousand quid. To be fair the ring gear had gone and had to fork out fifty quid for a new one from Ford. The stingy blighter wouldn't even negotiate down the price! Spent all me van money I had saved an all.

Aye, I bought the shell in about 1980, flogged it in about '83 so that ties in with the records.. Bought a mk2 RS2000 then (pictures to follow later). That had had a bit of a chequered life too......

Previous to them, had a mk1 Mex which was immaculate, flogged for £650 😭, then a Mk2 Escort 1100 popular. Turned the pop into a flat front pinto engined beast, which I flogged for peanuts in the end too.......
