Good turn out of cars but quite a lot of BMW 1 series an Hyundai i30n's, but in amongst them with some right peaches.... This escort was simply stunning, and the Volvo Amazon was also amazing I think Can't believe the mk1 still has a 1100 engine fitted like its V5 says LOL! And the Amazon - turbo exhaust through the bonnet - bonkers Swede LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth_C_79 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Ended up getting a run home on a lorry. Car died out as fuel pump stopped working. A bit of investigation and I found the metal remains of 2 of my fuses in the main fuse box. The plastic surrounding the fuses had melted leaving the metal fully intact. Bit worrying, so car was dropped off outside an auto electrician yesterday evening. I'll get speaking to him first thing today as got a big run starting on Thursday that I need to be ready for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT36 Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Put my battery on charge and re-fitted my mirror and door panel last night. Sunny here today, so will drive it out of garage and clean it tonight. Mondeo ST also got a wash and wax. Fords breakfast meet this Sunday, so weather depending, I will be taking the Escort or Mondeo ST. Either way I get a bacon and burger roll and a brew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth_C_79 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Thanks for the comments guys! I have the car booked into the body shop for the winter. Going back to bare metal for some minor rust treatment (he says before seeing what's under the paint). Windows removed and hopefully new seals fitted all round. Doing the engine bay as well so good few months work ahead. Then I should have a really clean orange Mk1 escort. Don't forget, it's only a pretend Mexico, not a real one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 If its important to 'us' ie. a pub, it gets built well - lets see if the Opera House will still be around in another 150 odd years 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one you see pictured was under water 4 weeks ago and I took that photo only today. The huge mounds of river silt are just out of frame to the left you can just see the start of it.
