My MK1

I have finally decided to take a few pics (not the best but you get the idea) of my escort. this has been my dream car since i was 14.

Plans are to finish off installing the fuel lines and pump and finish off the interior wich i picked up out of a wreck. A few little touches here and there and get the thing on the road

As a long term plan im slowly getting a cosworth together so once i have all the required parts to throw that in fix up the few small rust spots that are starting to come through and give it a new paint job.

Oh and i want to source a new set of wheels, as you can see the current wheels are not fitting of a classic ford [88]

BTW, dont suppose anyone knows what the black wheel is? i have 2 of them for the rear if i can find 2 more for the front ill stay with them for a while as the look pretty decent.

thanx phil

it looks better in the pics than in person atm [88]
but with time and a bit more money all that will be fixed

dont suppose anyone wants 3 wheels? not sure of the offset but pretty sure they came off some kind of fwd shopping trolley.
they are only a few years old so wouldn't be that hard to find a fourth. i just want them gone

the black wheels came off a jap import drift car thats why there is only 2 of them, haven't seen that style around as its a two piece wheel not a one piece like superlights, minilights.

if i can source 2 more of the black ones ill stay with the 16s, if i cant find them ill look at either 15s or 16s, whatever comes up at the right price at the right time

im in Sydney, the pics could be a little slow as the progress has been rather slow as im trying to source more and more expensive parts for the cosworth but as i go along ill be sure to post updates

not sure on the story with the arches as i got the car with them already fitted, not entirely happy with them as they dont appear to have been done properly, whatever filler was used is starting to shrink. when it goes to the body shop it will be re-done properly.

looks like you might be right on the wheels, its either them or a very good copy. the search is on for two fronts now

I had those same rear archs on my shell when bought it, they were quickly removed! If your re painting and re doing the archs i would go steel and not look back... only 80 pounds each and it will look like a genuine ford avo mk1!

good luck with the project

The Cobra colour scheme is.... interesting. [88]

It is a very nice blue, maybe just loose the white stripes? [;^)]
