    Welcome Peter,
    Very nice Fords sir.
    Haaaa, an Escort with opening front 1/4 windows? wow!

    Are the Escort wheels alloy or cast steel? they look like a superlight alloy wheel.

    If you have any opening 1/4 windows for sale i would like to buy a pair. maxrs2k@bigpond.com.au

    Thanks for sharing.
    Mark

    Thanks.
    Seeing as most of our FAIRMONT GT'S are in Australia I opted for a Fairlane.
    It's cast steel wheels. Was made by a company SMITHS WHEELS here in South Africa in the late 70's early 80's , it was chrome. The chrome did not look good anymore so I gave it good sanding and re-sprayed it.

    Have a look around on our Ford site www.FORDESCORTCLUBSA.COM
