The colour is Everglade Green. A very common colour in the early 90's on the EB and ED falcon's. Not so common anymore

Hey mr mk2 that colour of your mk2 is tops! I got rid of the aircon setup. I figured the amount of times i had to tighten bolts it would just be anather issue.I remember pulling up at a supermarket and seeing a large bolt on the road thinking someone is going to wonder where that bolt went and when i got home relized my altanatar is about to fall off[88]

A lot has happened since than i last had it on the road. I have sold the pinto and bought a blacktop zetec and will put a wrx snail on it and use de-comp plate. Wish i had time like i used too [B)]

The worse thing I ever done was remove the twins webers! Holleys suck! A good tune would have wise by a machanic but easyer just to put a weber back on. Wouldn't idle properly, flats spot, hard to start when cold..

Ahh thats not good news. I plan to run one soon in favour of twins because I can get a Holley under the stock air cleaner.

I didn't take it to get tuned. I just tryed swapping jets,power valves etc
If i took it to someone it would have been fine. It was just easyer to throw on a weber instead.. Most local auto shops have bits for them which was very helpful. Not like trying get delorto parts![:u]

If anyone can tell me why my photobuckets links have changed.. There was photos before now they are links ggrrr..

well I couldnt be sure why it changed on you.. But your essentially missing the closing [/img] tag from the end of each picture address.

If you want to tidy them up and get them working.. all you need is the actuall address bit.

With [ img] at the beginning and [ /img] at the end of it. (no spaces)

This esky looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics. I spent some time talking Escorts with Jason when I bought some Pinto bits off him,and he sems pretty switched on.
