There seems to be a few differnt fb pages with escort gear.
I can see them, but not comment or buy as i've never had a fb login.
 
Dont really want to start now, but I saw a totally manky 4 spoke wheel yesterday that would have been worth playing with :(

Yeah seemed a good deal so i grabbed it, everyone speaks highly of pauls kit and considering it was with calipers which can a pain to find nowadays i grabbed it. Still undecided on the fronts tho.

Cars been in storage and i pulled it out for bit of a lap this arvo.

Inlaws (where we are staying atm) came very close to being ****ed over by the cherry gardens fire that passed by their area.

Anyway driving the car again was great, house is coming along and im even more broke then before
 

Robbie's home resto blog lol ! Jeez, that's a serious refit going on there...I thort you was just going to punch a wall or two and crank the bog / bathroom into the current style !

We're doing our lounge room when time permits (taken 6 months just to paint the ceiling) , our place is double brick so can't really punch walls out for the sake of it.. The misso chose this place and then wants everything changed, I don't get that..
Anywho, keep us up-to-date on the reno, and cost if you dare 🤣 !!

Thanks Marty! Our house is a 1913 villa so all the front is double brick but we are keeping that lay out. There has been a few engineering solutions needed that have cost a few extra dollars. Like using a steel support beam about 1/3 the size it should - old time engineering or just people doing it themselves. Ive painted this whole house and hated it so have budgeted in the pros to do the this reno.

Makes me looking at AP brake kits from the UK feel cheap when messing with houses.

Attended what turned out to be the last coffee and cars Unley the other day. Was post night shift so i woke up at like 4am for this event, had a nice hills drive beforehand (we are currently living up there during the renos) and met a few fellow ford friends.

Seems they have decided that too many people leaving the meet in an excited fashion is enough and the organizers have called it off. I just love the variety of these things, like have a look at this trike - motor on the front wheel with a giant chain and a stick into the cabin to turn the thing. How awesome!

House is coming along well, found a few more areas of 70s engineering which have been fixed and a nice unexpected cost increase to go with it. Its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but fingers crossed.

Coffee and cars seem to be a thing at the moment. My car club had it's first recently and had a pretty good turnout. Our club is growing fast, we are having to source different venues for our cruises due to the numbers attending- parking space and eateries the biggest factor. We had more than 90 cars last night, usually it's about 50.

Yeah I think the relaxed vibe and the fact you can attend and be gone by early morning it appeals to many.

I like the diversity the most.

@martymexico did you sell your zetec mk1?
