Just like my Dad used to have before the Mexico.

[Coby.]

Very cool... Looks really tidy too.

Very cool... Looks really tidy too.

wasnt when i bought it! had to replace both front wings, front panel, slam panel, bonnet, boot lid, both the front doors and 1 rear door, 1 rear quarter and the drivers floor....

so after all that an a spraying it now looks like that, although its currently suffering from a bad case of electrical gremins, hopefully the lumenition kit on order should sort it!

 

[couzens]

OMG that is awsome! and your only up the road from me! if your ever out and about my way I would love to have a look around it!

Laaavely.

 

[Englebert]

Cool!

Nice mk2, what engine are you running? 2.0 pinto? I do like an old ford, used to spend ages over on oldskoolford forums reading, I dont have deep enough pockets to get a mk1 though

 

[Badgerman85]

Its a 1760 xflow, lightened and balanced bottom end an flywheel, lairy Kent cam,huuuuuuuge valves, twin 40 dcoe Weber's and electronic ignition, uprated fuel pump etc, honestly way way too many bits to list!!

But the main thing is the quaife LSD hiding in the rear axle!!

Thanks chaps glad you like it! Hopefully ignition parts should be here around november/december time, its not been running for a while now but the parts were a fortune and having a Trophy doesnt really help much.....anyway theyre super cheap now so i'll get them on backorder ( i think its a 2 - 3 month estimated time at the moment ) then i'll get em fitted up, changed the brakes for some better ones and get it on the road for next summer, get some proper sideways action on the go!

DO IT! What one is it? 2dr? 4dr? engine? Doesn't matter if its gold theyre cool as fook whatever they look like, even with an open diff you can get one proper sideways, you can always respray it yourself badly and it will still look cool, theres loads of ratty ones in the oldskoolford.co.uk scene, as well as some insanely stunning and insanely fast cars!!

4 Door iirc, cant remember the engine size... It has square headlights too, not sure if thats a huge difference.

Edit:

This is the one

 

[Ash87]

[Why2]

Verrrry nice

Edit:

That's cool!! Change to round Headlamps and a round headlamp grille too, the square ones have a tendancy to fall out if you brake too hard
