Isn't it! Reminds me of the car from Robocop.

The 6000 SUX! Lol

That mk2 escort at the top of post 149 is looks mint. That colour on that body shape is so mean and purposeful.

Agree mate, one of my faves so far.

It was at the Blackpool Stages in the rally village, must be about the best ive seen in terms of preperation! Colour is awesome, Had a N/A 2.5 Millington diamond engine in with a Sequential. About the 320bhp mark but its not cheap!! Think the engine is like 20k on its own or somewhere around there :O

1700cc + Ford Racing stickers? Probably got an FRP engine then, should be pretty quick.

XR2 mk1's OMFG!!

 

[ch!ppen]

My Dad's had a couple of cars featured in Classic Ford and had his Anglia on their stand at NEC classic car show

I'll see if i can dig some pics out...

 

[ch!ppen]

The Anglia...

The mk1 Escort that was featured... As far as we know he was the first person to drop a slant 4 Lotus engine in one:

He also built this concours mk1 rs2000:

Yes, sadly that is me in the orange top :S lol

 

[DaveDreads]

Holy sh*t!!!

Your old man's got skills.

 

[ch!ppen]

Holy sh*t!!!

Your old man's got skills.

Sadly he doesn't bother with cars anymore... Just motorbikes and classic mopeds. Which is cool and everything but i'd like him to have another pop at cars again lol.

 

[DaveDreads]

I know a bloke like that, he just tinkers with his classic bikes and builds Tritons. (Triumph engine with a Norton frame)

However I know another bloke that's built a Cobra rep with a Rover V8 in it,
i'll be checking that out this Saturday, i'll try and get some pics but my DSLR's broken.

 

[DaveDreads]

I think it's safe to say i've got a problem.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

saph's are awsome!

One of the guys I work with has a Mk2 4-Door, with a 2.2 Pinto on twin Webbers, hydraulic handbrake assembly, I think its Willwood brakes and its beige, its awesome.

I'll get a few pictures when I can.

 

[DaveDreads]

I might have to go to the next Ford fair, looks right up my street.

​

 

[Wayne-G]

Spotted this oppisate my gym, had to go for a quick peek! Looks very clean, looks freshly restored too

 

[Adam G]

Ford Fair's an excellent day Dave, I'll be going for sure.

 

[DaveDreads]

I'm there dude, 13th of August this year.
http://www.fordfair.co.uk/

I remember going to work in Stratford when it was on last year,
so many fap worthy cars on the commute there and back.

I'm now desperate to get my Cortina project on the go,
although having the money to buy a decent one is a problem at the moment. :dapprove:

I want Raz to get a Saph Cossie asap so we can all get stuck into it! :evil:

 

[Adam G]

There's a tidy Mk2 Tina just down the road from me. Was with Chip and Lesley looking at that Viper engined 3dr. Really nice build.

 

[Ash']
