Knapman 0 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) My mums car and mine. Strange to think these two are in the same market segment :P And finally a front shot in decent light. Car looks lovely, but get that bonnet changed back to red its too good a car to be messed with..! :thumbup: Thats the difference between oldies & young ones, we like standard & you like jazzed up. Rainford in Liverpool,that will upset the neighbours :sofa: Have made contact with FKLGLS on here, he's in Rainford Bob Edited May 1, 2014 by Knapman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristinaGXL 23 Posted May 1, 2014 Gah! I didn't do the bonnet! :microwave: :P Though I do think it suits it quite nicely :P Anywho, It's not like it's irreversible. Is he the one with the crystal green mk5? I've seen it around a few times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wreckers771 4 Posted May 2, 2014 I love a mk5 especially red ones(couldn't find one when I was looking)and I think those wheels look the danglies on them. That is a good looking car though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmokeEm 1 Posted May 2, 2014 On oldskoolford today, a company called RH Insurance became a site sponsor and they offer classic policies to 21yr old's providing they are a member of OSF and satisfy a few other criteria - check it out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristinaGXL 23 Posted May 2, 2014 Ooh definitely will be worth checking out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristinaGXL 23 Posted June 5, 2014 Bought a few bits for the car recently, rev counter dash, land rover v8 engine mounts, spotlight brackets and some proper carellos. Hopefully they'll arrive before too long! Paid a visit to FLKGLS, nice to have another fan this local! I also made a replica of my car, including a slightly dodgy RHD conversion.

ChristinaGXL 23 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) So today I wired in my ghia rev counter dash, and the rev counter works fine.... Till 3k rpm then it dies :'( plugging that dash back in with about 1 inch of space and sharp things everywhere just :excl: 'd me off too much today to try again. Ugh. I knew it was going too well. :( Edited June 6, 2014 by ChristinaGXL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the-ford-cortina.com 225 Posted June 6, 2014 You are better leaving the mods off by the way - as nice as they are the greedy insurance companies want more money for any sniff of anything not standard on the car and that includes alloy wheels and spot lights unfortunately.
