Heres a some pics of our old 'tina.......
Its a 200ci four speed, found with just 26000k's and still on it's original goodyear crossply's. all of the paint smears are still there along with heaps quality control and parts tags. I've changed the tyres (kept old ones on rims) and rebuilt the brake system. Otherwise I've just been slowly detailing it top to bottom in my man cave
 

Wow, that is sweet! That is a time warp car.
You don't see many as neat and original as that, she's a beaut!

WOW!!! I thought my 130,000km TC was clean. this one looks like it just rolled out of the factory!!
 

Cheers, I wasn't looking for a car at the time but bought it there and then for a fair price, it wasn't until we got it home, looked at the paper work, checked it out at the department of transport and went all over it we relized it was a good survivor.  Its up to 31000k's now,  I do drive it to keep her 'regular' gotta admit though I am quite wary but everyone still smiles and waves at me as I gently get up to speed ..........

G'day all, having a weekend off from the Escort, spent the day getting old 'Tina ready for winter so I thought I'd update the thread.........
Changed all the oils, coolant and brake fluid, seems mundane but we find the general maintenance of a car like this really enjoyable, much easier than a resto, after that we went for a magic cruise down the W.A. coast, listening to 'golden oldies' on AM radio with my old man singing along all the way. Even got the thumbs up from a policeman, probably not for Dads singing though
Whilst the wheels were off we got a few pics of the mechanical paint smears, red and yellow represent TD general production, green for borg warner........ Theres a fair few more on the car, tailshaft, front springs etc, if anyones restoring I'm happy to sent some high res pics to help get your job right.......
In the meantime she'll be started once a week until the spring cruising season arrives............
 

............and one of the tyre placard

Beauty, keep her clean! Would not me many around like this!
Is it TD or TC?

Hey SaggaRS, thanks for the sneak peak of that Yellow RS nosecone on your profile, but I need to keep focused  
It's dated 5/75, a late TD facelift with the plastic grille and  round headlights, but the last of the pre pollution crossflows...
She's in good hands,... and garage now, I wanted to get the old boy an Anglia for retirement,  but he seems to have taken to 'Tina like one of the family.................
 

Hello all... Spending way too much time on the RS so I thought I'd take a break and give old 'Tina some time before the summer cruising season....
The old boys been keeping her started over winter so just oil, coolant, a brake bleed and  dusting was needed.
With that I took my dodgey chrome aviaters out of their ford case, forgot about all my worldly worries and went for a drive down the coast, ahhhh....
I've got to be careful now, I can't get enough of looking at the power bulge in the bonnet and would drive her every day but will allow myself 3000km this summer to take the clock up to 35000.
Stoked, let the summer days and cricket on AM radio roll on
 

Oh for a hassle free small ford......
 
Looks great.
