12 years ago I closed the lock up door on my MK2 Mexico - today I opened the door !

clearly yes, but it was the best picture i found after looking for 0.5 seconds LOL

wheels look nice

lol ! I didn't want to bugger up the mint looking boot lock, so an old worn key was the best answer

good old 70's Ford security eh ?!?! gotta luv it !

[Sharpy_G]

sorted some locks out finally, but thinking of replacing the handles or at least the nearside one with Capri 'no lock' type has anyone else done this ?

found the original company who fitted my 'Yale' door dealocks, and even tho' they are no longer available from Yale, they have a few barrels 'put by' and are going to come and drill out my old ones (no keys ) and will leave me new keys and barrels so I can put them back in after resto'

put a few bits up for sale as I feel I was 'jumping the gun' with buying stuff before I even get the car back here

planning to move her from the lock up to home in June can't wait !!

acquired a few more goodies from ebay too !

yep ! indeed, fluke more like as I got their number from a guy fitting an alarm to a BMW in a rooftop carpark last week !!

Easy fit, just make sure the central locking works properly before you close the windows

[Sharpy_G]

thanks, looks good that, may do both and just stick with Yales and remote central locking yet

getting organised in the garage for the 'homecoming'

Progress !

So with a bit of luck and some help from Morley Autos, the Mex' should be on her way home from storage and into my garage next Wednesday !
