FINALLY BRAND NEW STEEL MK1 ESCORT GUARDS IN OZ

Escortians, I am pleased to announce that I now have the very first samples here for the new reproduction Steel MK1 Escort Guards. As some of you would be aware this process of tooling and dies has been going on now for almost 2 years thanks to John Fohan in Ireland. The result is tremendous and I believe they are even better than the originals made in the 70s.. They not only look great but they are also a perfect fit on the bodyshell. I hope to have the stock here in February and in a few days time I should have confirmed prices once I get the shipping costs. I am the Australian agent for these guards. The first batch will be RS2000, Twin Cam and Mexico Guards with the flared lip. It will be on a first in best dressed system so register your interest early. No more hunting, cutting out rust, panel beating out old bog, the answer is here. Cheers Rob

    There is nothing on the UK web site to indicate there is an agent in Australia

    Thanks David, yes I checked myself and couldn't see anything on the website about any agent in Australia but apparently someone here in Australia is having a big whinge to Hadrians about me distributing the guards. Apparently this person or company wanted to charge people here over $600 a guard and they are upset cuz I am only charging $440. Just goes to show there is always someone out there wanting to get the arm into us Classic Ford guys.

    Guys, the Guards are now here. Pretty historic day as these are the first new steel MK1 Guards to arrive in OZ since the 70s and the first pair have already gone the same day (to Gympie). I collected them all today from the docks. Don't you love the wit on the boxes? Arrived well packed and not one flawed. If you have already pre-ordered I will be in touch in the next few days. I have also recieved a good supply of Standard MK1 Right Hand Guards if you need some. Just give me a hoi 0450922011. Cheers
