4 Door Daily Runner

[Mexico Mark 2]

Picked up this bargain yesterday one owner 46,000 1.3GL 4 door, The Mexico is going on hold for a short while whilst this one gets sorted. It needs absolutely NO welding underneath and has never had any it does need a pair of front wings and a bonnet, little bits here and there then a good coat of paint. There is a bit of surface rust but everything is solid. Original stereo, and would appear from the tax disc it was last on the road in 2001.

Project 4 Door

Been a bit of a delay in starting the 4 door project as had to finish my T4 Transporter project first from this





with a lot of this





to get to this





anyway back to the point the car needs a bit of straightening out but the only welding needed are the edges of the headlamp panel and a pair of front wings so should be a quick project then maybe I'll finally get the Mexico finished











The drip rails are in great condition as are the 'A' pillars and the kick panels. Will be doing more over the next week so will add more photos as I go

Keep them square just as it should be. It's easy to get into the trend changing square for round, but I like them and all the up market models had them! It will be a nice clean looking car when it's done....I like the white ones too.

Update

I can't believe I've owned this for 18 months but in that time I've moved house built an extension and part way through renovating the rest of the house. Made the decision to get the 4 door ready for Ford Fair but the bodyshop doing the paint for me won't be able to get it painted by then so it'll have to be Rally Day. Took the other wing off and generally stripped bits off, sadly broke the gutter trim getting it off. Engine out over the next couple of days the going to blast it clean ready for paint[ATTACH][ATTACH]20130710_155252.jpg[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

I agree with that changing square for round has almost become a cliché, i'd keep them square, on a GL they'd be halogen as well. I do like a GL they are getting harder to find now far more L's and Ghias are out there. I sold my GL back in 2010 I have been keeping my eye out for another one but they don't come up much. Are you keeping it Diamond White?

Hi

Yeah going to keep it original, managed to get a brand new pair of square ford headlights and keeping it white still need to find a few bits to finish it once painted.

[13sport]

That's going to make a really nice 4 door that mate, good decision to keep it original

Engine is out, found that the front cross member had totally rotted away so having made the headlamp repair panels the front panel has to come off, snapped one of the lugs on the brake master cylinder trying to get it off as the captive bolt came loose. A bit stressed so forgot to take any photos today, getting the engine bay soda blasted on Sunday so will put up a few more then
