Nice, just like mine, how much better does it go with the 1600??

Familiarnice to see the 12' wheels on it. The Gold 15' wheels were the first Tempest type mag ordered from Performance.

Try starting it, with one pump on the gas before you key start, then wait before you try giving it more gas.
And you may have dramas with the 2L radiator not allowing the car to warming up in the cold. I bet it won't overheat in traffic.
If you PM me your address i can send you down some goodies for ya.
Good luck with it.

Looks can be deceiving, I thought it looked pretty sweet too, but never judge a book by it's cover !

It doesn't overheat in traffic cos it doesn't even go at the moment. Its not starting at all, just getting a click at the solenoid ?
First the battery, then the alternator, then the starter motor, and now the solenoid..........
I fix one thing and then something else breaks down, what next ?
Can you give me any clues ???
It should be painted yellow ... cos its a lemon

geez, it was a sweet ride when i had it.

I was wondering why i didn't get any positive feedback.

Neat looking ride mate! Looks very period. I even love the bump strip down the side. Sounds like you're experiencing the joys of owning an old car. Don't give up, you will get on top of it & then you will be able to start enjoying it. Remember it could be worse, you could be working on old cars all day long!

I have ironed out a few more of the gremlins and have been enjoying driving to work and back in it this week.
Still a few more issues to go in regards to getting a roadworthy but money seems to be the restriction at the moment......as it always is. The joys of owning an older car.
Changed my mined on the colour yellow too,
I think it will look much better All Black.

im one of the biggest fans of a black car but would hate to see it on something like this, the brown suits it, i wouldn't go changing a sweet looking ride like that.
if you want to defile another car and spray it black im happy to take this one off your hands [88]




im serious about that offer

What do you mean ? defile another one and spray it black ??
Yes the escort does suit brown but its just not the colour for me.
No thanks on that offer, now that i've got one i'm gunna keep it !

defile: taint, tarnish, corrupt, degrade

I took it out for a ride yesterday and got the windscreen smashed for my troubles
