srb Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 hi, This is the first classic car that i've owned, always loved classic Fords, especially Mk 1 & 2 Escorts... Can't afford a 2 door yet so I went for 4 door Mk2. No big plans, just running it more or less as is, there are a few bits to sort but I think I'll be keeping it as standard as possible. Here a few pics. Got it back in June, I've since removed the crappy thing dangling from the mirror and the Jagermeister sticker. Discussion thread although there's not much to discuss at the moment haha //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41168-1980-ford-escort-mk2-13/ Here it is when I first picked it up: And a trip out to Piha in it... Anyway main plan is to refurbish the wheels as they are a bit rusty (unless I can find some period looking alloys, I love the 13x7 look but don't want to be rolling arches or putting skinny tyres on). And sort out the exhaust, something standard looking. It doesn't look right and because it points upwards, one side of the back of the car is constantly dirty. In the mean time I will be saving up for when a 2 door comes along! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
