Had my mate Steve Murden down to help with some mystery problems on my Supercharged car and could'nt resist the photo op.

3 Mk1's out the front could only be better if there was 4 or more :)

Well the '72 four door is my wife's and the racer with the 4age and the Bubble Guards I am building for her and I to race, But the Corty,RS and MK1 are all mine and by the end of next year the corty should be done, RS2000 will be on the road round March and the MK1 Supercharged one will be off the road for its final swap to the new injected motor with the bigger supercharger, along with an upgrade for coil overs, courier diff w/rear disc's.... the ultimate tech upgrade for the MK1 its the one we test all our ideas on.

No pics of the Corty but its in the worst shape out of all of the projects..... its been retrimmed but needs a bit of rust and body work to sort it out.... plus the motor for it is still in my Mk1 Escort at the moment, but once the injected motor goes in early next year I will be able to get the corty started, the corty and the MK1 Racer will be the last two cars completed out of the toys I have at the moment.

Brizey, Wish I did work in the Industry, but I dont I dont even get much time to do the big stuff, I have a good friend thats owned Escorts all his life has bought an RS brand new back in the 80's and he currently has the green Escort in the above pics plus a 1600GT in a Mk1 Van and a Supercharged MK1 V4 Transit Truck that he uses for farm work and to transport his 1600 Mk1 Sports Sedan, He does all the tricky fabrication work plus he is a retired aircraft frame worker so he is a gun at folding up sheet metal for rust work, I then have a Panel Beater down here in Moss Vale that will be finishing the RS off and getting it up to scratch paint wise.
I sell computers and S$&T loads of them to pay for my "Small Ford Addiction".

And if the truth be known there are still some more cars on the wish list and while the wife is fine for me to get some more, I want to get a couple more I would like to get some more of them onto the road or track before I add to the collection.

Cars still on my list to get;
MK1 Transit Flat Top Truck OR Camper
Anglia 105e

Ok so they fit now... although had to take off the wheel weights as they were hitting the front calipers. Front has stacks of room but even after a massage at the back the wheel and the guard were still duking it out.... another massage and the guard and the wheel are still as close as siblings from Tasmainia but not too close to cause problems.

The Carma's were good... but the Simmons look better. The black centres really suit the car too I reckon
