I bought a friend for my Mex

[M11RF]

Just got back from picking this up...
Its a right scream! 1.6 ghia Signal Yellow (my fave colour)
It looks as good as it is in the pics... Its SOLID!!
Had some fun on the way home












and the best thing about it................

It has a 2.0 Pinto with twin choke and 5 speeder!!



Excuse the engine bay... Its not the tidiest of places!!

This is my new daily hack!

Twins!!

[Tim]

very nice mark

[RS2000&MEXICO]

she looks a nice car...

[Banishit]

very clean looking Mark

and before someone else says it nice looking bulkhead pad too

[M11RF]

I thought Paul would have got that one in Brian!!


Cheers Boys.
I can't belive how good condition it is in. Apart from the engine bay.
Its had 2 new front wings, rear arches, all the doors are mint
Very good inside, bumpers are nice and shiney, new exhaust...
I could go on about it, but i dont want to bore you!!
With it having the Ghia clocks in it and the pinto engine, what sort of speed difference am i looking at...
Speedo Read 100mph in 3rd... That can't be right!!

Looks good Mark
Look better with 4 spokes IMO
Ya right Brian, nice looking bulkhead pad LOL

[RS2000&MEXICO]

lol....i don't think so m8...

want to sell that bulkhead them mark....?.....£££££££££££

[M11RF]

hehehehehe... i'll let you know, if its a mess under there then i'm going to keep it to cover it up :cyclops:
Might be pursuaded to swap it for some bits Paul... Boot Spoiler and a Mk1 indicator
See what its like underneath 1st...
I think it would look better with some 4 spokes too Martin... But it was either these or some other crappy 13's so i took it with these
SIDEWAYS!

[vinny]

looks sweet mark, i would stick a cheap set of minilites on her

[lathamescortmk2]

nice car!

mk2's for daily use is the way forward!

scrap them rims tho mate, not doing it any favours

[GAZ W]

looks good mark

As said ditch the rims and go for some 4 spokes

[RS2000&MEXICO]

ok mark you know my number give me a call i have got loads of bits and some nice wheels...

[RS2000CUSTOM]

With a 3.54 diff an Escort does

Apprx in 4th gear

1000rpm = 20 mph

ie, 2000rpm = 40mph

4000rpm = 80mph

[lathamescortmk2]
