New is probably your best bet for those window seals, £80+ for 4 of them I think from Ford. I had some good used ones but they went for some decent coin on eBay. 

Many sincere thanks mate appreciated!!

My sincerest thanks for the kind words and help with parts Egg its very much appreciated indeed. So glad to have saved her from a very sketch uncertain future. Loving reading about yours and seeing it in action in Hubnut your car is not only amazing but a real credit to you:-)

I found Ford prohibitively expensive for some things, but then again with a lot you were left with no choice. Last of the spares I have are going to the tip at weekend. Headlamps, instrument clusters, the rare early exhaust manifolds, throttle bodies, coolant hoses, PAS pumps, new starters, alternators etc... grab them now before they go in the bin.

Calling @Slowsilver - any of these useful for yours?

Would love to save this stuff but collection logistics at the moment. Whereabouts are you?

[sierraman]

Sheffield 

[Slowsilver]

A bit too far from Buckingham for a round trip, unless you happen to find yourself heading Milton Keynes way on an "essential" journey. If not, maybe if @RustyRuss is nearer he could collect and store them for future dispersal.

I'd love these too. I'm  Edinburgh.  Would travel after restrictions though but no idea when that will be.

K989RHR now up for sale.  (Not my ad, I just automatically come to this thread whenever I see a K reg mondeo advertised!  )

I'm still plugging away with the register, hawking it round the various Facebook groups - I'm now up to 55 known K-reg cars, including a UK registered car residing in Ireland (a resto project).

Split by trim level

Base = 6
LX = 23
GLX = 14
Si = 4
Ghia = 8

23 of the 55 have a current MOT.

This is the one near me, still with its original Brooke Shaw dealer reg and window sticker.

Some utter shit tried to steal it last night.

[Soundwave]

Bastards, you can't have anything these days! Hopefully it'll bend back OK.   Hope the area around the handle can be fixed too, be a shame for it to have a door replaced when it's so original.

Thank you. Known to me, looked like this a while back.

Where was Brooke Shaw's garage?

Shalesmoor, Sheffield. 

 

The building on the left in the streetview is the old showroom. The workshops were demolished as part of the road scheme and were past the showroom on the left.

They moved here in the 60's, having been roughly where it says Q Park Charles Street.

That was a 'proper' garage, one of those with a ramp inside up to the top floor, the sort you see models of. I remember my father buying his Mk I 'tina brand new from them (red - GWE792C) and it being parked on the ramp ready for collection.

This one has just sold for strong money, you can see why. Looks fantastic.

[sierraman]

That picture could almost be from CAR in 1995.

Mine is 28 years old today, as it rolled off the production line in Belgium. One of the ways to date a Mondeo is the date stamp on the b pillar between the doors. You can see each side of my car was fabricated on different days!

Are any other cars date stamped like that? 

[greengartside]

Yep, dad’s Mondeo was date stamped 25.1.93 on both pillars.

Sorry I didn't make it clearer, I meant anything other than Mondys.

Ah yes sorry, scan reading again. 
 

I’m not entirely sure there was anything else stamped like that, obviously Ford did use a date code on the edge of wings etc. 

[danthecapriman]

When my Capri came back from the blasters and got cleaned up there was a hand written date doodled onto the top of the inner wing, looked like very faintly written with an engraving tool or something. With paint on there wasn’t (and isn’t now it’s been sprayed) any trace of it though. Pretty sure it said ??/May/74, I can’t remember exactly what the day was. I don’t think it was anything official and probably something someone on the assembly line did for some reason.

It's OK, I can see how it could have been interpreted as any other Mondys. 

[sierraman]

Aston Martin go one better, you get the date and the name of the bloke who built the engine or upholstered the interior. I’d doubt they do that now, the Chinese or Social Media Entrepreneurs who whoever wouldn’t give a shit about how it was made by a craftsman who took pride in his art. 

[mitsisigma01]

Mitsubishi did it differently, they just chucked the build and specification sheet under the back seat 

[sierraman]

Found a door window seal yesterday clearing out a shelf, not sure which door it’s from, it’s a bit crusty underneath but the top is fine. Yours for the cost of postage to whoever wants it. I’ll take a pic when I’m in the house.
