I've looked for a picture of my solitary Escort Mk1. No go so far. Bought in 1992 or 3 from the standard little old lady about 3 miles from me. Absolutely solid, only rot was both edges of the front wings by the headlamp surrounds- caught on the garage repeatedly Real blast from the past for me then, bearing in mind my first 5 cars were Cortinas and a Corsair 1.3L, green metallic paint, drums all round. About 70k on it iirc. 12' sodding wheels. Made it very busy past 65-70. Still for the original steel fan as well. Once I'd sorted the wheel cylinders on the front it wasn

I has the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times, like most here I suspect, there is more in common with others than not. Might even be cars. I apologise if I seem to be 'stirring' as mentioned earlier, not sure if it's a veiled dig or not, nor do I really care (about the dig). It's not. I a

So I need to replace this. With these. Wiper arms loose, scuttle panel been off already. What could go wrong.
