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.

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
