Monza Posted June 11, 2022 Report Posted June 11, 2022 I see you're doing the Lakes.....in the Mex I'm hoping?? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Rallye Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Yes, that's me Colin. Arron, it was nice to meet and talk with you. Lakes Tour was epic. Edited June 15, 2022 by Rallye 2
Rallye Posted June 17, 2022 Author Report Posted June 17, 2022 You may note it's a little saggy at the back, reason being a fair chunk of luggage and 50 year old leaf springs. If anyone has a decent pair of Mexico springs I could have ?
DT36 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Posted June 18, 2022 I removed my 3 leaf off my Mk2 and fitted new single leaf. Car sat much better.

Rally Pack 2000 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Posted June 18, 2022 The single leaf springs and fitting blocks on my Mk2 are original Ford. Bought them through a RS Dealer in the 80's!
Rallye Posted June 18, 2022 Author Report Posted June 18, 2022 Thank you Ray, I will be going down that route thanks to you. Restore existing springs to original with new saddles and pads. 1
katana Posted June 19, 2022 Report Posted June 19, 2022 BUT - Don't forget mk2 Single leaf's will not fit mk1's without modification!
Rally Pack 2000 Posted June 21, 2022 Report Posted June 21, 2022 Do you still have your Sport as well?
YellowTaxi Posted September 27, 2022 Report Posted September 27, 2022 Wow, Never seen a Mk1 from above. If I didnt know I would have sworn it was a capri. Doesnt the boot look short compared with the bonnet.
Rallye Posted October 21, 2022 Author Report Posted October 21, 2022 New tyres with wheels blasted and painted original Strato Silver 4 2 1
Rallye Posted November 21, 2022 Author Report Posted November 21, 2022 Thank you for your appreciation
