Looks quite nice.. :y  I would be worried about the fitting of the hood, bit gap between it and the front screen...... :-/ :-/ :-/

I'm presuming the hood was just 'up' and not locked at the front in those pictures (the MR2 would look the same if I did that as the front clasps stretch it into position)..

Anyway.. what an awesome car - for once, Guy's posted a car that I really like ;D :)

Yes I really like that aswell. Only thing I would change is the wheels as not really my cup of tea. That said have no idea what wheels I would fit.

Lot of work and very well done to the builder or builders.  :y :y

Indeed Aaron!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have loved earlier Ford products, not all from Dagenham, but probably their parts were!

All the Consul's, Zodiac's, Zephyr's, Granada's; loved them! :-* :-* :-*

All the Cortina's; loved them, especially the MK2 1600E that I never had a chance to own 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

The Prefect's, Anglia's and Mk1 Escorts, including the RS2000 which again I never had the chance to own 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

After that, in the early 1980s, they became not so good (Scorpio  ::) ::) ::)) and in my opinion Vauxhall / GM took over producing the best cars in their league 8-) 8-) :D :D :D ;)

Passed a mint Mk1 Escort Mexico earlier, looked absolutely fantastic, all the better because you just don't see them on the road anymore
