  Much as like original classics this is too far gone so i'd rip the seats out, fit buckets & harnesses. The 1300GT Xflow is a punchy tough & reliable little lump & if it all went pear shaped you could break it & sell the mods!! 8-)

Here I like that a lot! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Takes me right back to my teen tears and some crazy boy friends.  Loved the Anglia, and they were soooooo easy to work on.  I was really disappointed when by the time I qualified for a company car the Escort Mk1 had arrived ::) ::)

There  used to be a fiberglass dash that fitted over the front, taking round clocks from the Cortina as well as having space for the full set of GT clocks......... :D :D :D

Tenuous I know but Aston Martin's use the same locks as LDV's and black cabs which are actually the old type Ford Tibbe keys ;D

The stories I've heard from the former Concours judge for the Morris Minor OC who used to be a foreman at the Morris plant in Gaydon are unbelievable! Such as a few of the last Minors leaving the production line with a 7" drum brake one side and a 8" disc the other side!!!
