The Ford Appreciation Thread

[Gally]

Lols! You sound like my Dad!

I do <3 knowledge like that!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Mike from MWM's brother is just in the process of buying FRP widetrack for his fiesta which is going to be on bodies and a set of MWM's very hot cams for the 1600 ford lump, that should be quite a cool car when its done.
Its already on coilovers and 4 pots with a diff.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Were those the wheels that came on the Orion Eclipses?

No, although they were also 14" 6J they had a bead around the rim and were ET36.5. They weren't available diamond cut.

These are Mk3 Fiesta option alloys which had no bead and were diamond cut, ET32.

I know far to many little facts like that about 80's and 90s Fords...its sad

[Mr R.]

The white escort van is lovley.

 

[Flat Eric]

Still think the RS turbos are great looking cars!
That white one above!!!

 

[Ian_182]

Cracking vans and mk1 turbo...yum.

 

[Gally]

It gets better and better looking everytime I look at it. Love those wheels.

 

[DaveDreads]

Ok I admit it, some cars need to have that just detailed look all the time, or it's just a sin,
that is an exceptional car!!!

 

[Ash']

Would love to have a mk2 or an rs turbo

 

[welshname]

Eugh this thread has be on PH again.

I miss my/Luke's old ZS. It will certainly not be my last Ford. Mk6 STs are becoming quite the bargain recently.

That Cosworth is stunning Kev! That just an Internet find or you know the car?

It's that Blue, it sets off the look on so many fords doesn't it

 

[Stu.]

Seen that cossie at KH Kev, There were 2 like that and a red one that were stunning!

 

[leeroybrown]

We all need some of this!

 

[Gally]

Wrrrrraspy!

 

[Munson]

WTF. Sounds like that time when I had part of an ice cream tub lid sticking into the spokes on my Grifter.

 

[Stefan.]

That frp sounds pants imo

I love that blue escort cossie!

 

[leeroybrown]

WTF. Sounds like that time when I had part of an ice cream tub lid sticking into the spokes on my Grifter.

Gally will be around installing one on your 1M dude

 

[Gally]

Sounds different in gear i'll admit. Sounds a little weak as I said at the time of the video, no depth. On the overrun though is where the fun is. A 1*2 sounds like a washing machine in comparison though lets be honest.

 

[DaveDreads]

My Capri obsession continues.

I know it was meant to be the UKs version of the Mustang but I never bought into that,
however this one looks the closest to it i've seen, well at least from the back.

This is my current desktop wallpaper.

[Munson]

That's seriously f**king cool. All the more scary that D reg cars don't seem that old to me until you see the pics of cars from that era.

 

[Gally]

 

[Ash']

That's amazing ^^^

Oh and the anti-christ for you Ford purists;



Don't particularly like myself but it is different...

 

[MarcB]

I know its been seen 1000 times but i still think that it fits in

 

[DaveDreads]

No music, no arty camera angles,
just seven and a half minutes of pure awesomeness!

 

[ch!ppen]

Thought i'd throw this in... It's my Dad's friends. Steel bodykit which was hand crafted for this car yeeeeears ago. My Dad took it to the Thoresby Jap & Ford Show last year for him...

One word 'Millington'

 

[Daniel]

I'll just leave this here...

(The blue one!!)

 

[-J-]

Boxhill OSF meets are brilliant. I'd rather the yellow Mk2 personally but with the Blue ones engine.

[cat171]

I think I'd donate/sell a kidney to have that red Escort Cosworth :approve:

This makes me cry though :dead:

Graveyard

 

[DaveDreads]

That's just a sin!

Where Cosworths go to die. :dapprove:

 

[Gally]

I think I'd donate/sell a kidney to have that red Escort Cosworth :approve:

This makes me cry though :dead:

Graveyard

That Escort is actually parked on a display stand in Peoples garage Edinburgh.

It was an RSOC meet they had. Original price etc in the window. Had a mk1 and Fiesta. Last summer iirc.

 

[RSteve]

That's amazing ^^^

Oh and the anti-christ for you Ford purists;



Don't particularly like myself but it is different...

The main thing that ruins that is that it looks like a 12 year old is driving it.

 

[Stefan.]

That red escort cosworth is 'OMFG' nice!!

:hail:

 

[Scrooge]

I want a MK1 super sport.

 

[Gally]

It's amazing!
