mk2_craig Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Keep em coming - love to see abandoned old junk like this Spotlamps on the V-reg probably of more value than anything else there! Front wheel on the Ital estate looks like it came out the factory yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2_craig Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Pull the bonnet release on that Fiesta, grip the underside of the bumper with both hands and then give it a firm tug - dripping with rust as it is, £20 says it'll take the entire front panel with it, headlights and all. I did that to a rotten old B-reg I had some years ago... made engine removal a little easier though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Fiesta 1100 mk1 with rare mk1 tailgate and rs alloys!!What do MkI Fiesta's normally have for a tailgate then? Looks normal to me! Unless you're just talking about the fact they've relocated the number plate? What's rarest in my book is the strange crossover you can get with MkI Fiestas with MkII tailgates but incorporating normal MkI rear lights. Looks most odd, yet I've seen many like that over the years. Not sure what the story is! Those incredibly slimy Marina's & Ital take me back to the similarly decrepit van ones somebody posted a few months ago. Almost nightmarishly horrible condition! Who leaves them out to grass like that for no reason!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days they seem to have been bodged with mk2 tailgates-thats why that one seems rare to me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks most odd, yet I've seen many like that over the years. Not sure what the story is!Simply, that Ford almost immediately stopped making replacement mk1 tailgates when the mk2 came out - mk2 tailgates were never factory-fitted to mk1 Fiestas. The hinges bolt to the body identically and all the fittings are interchangeable I believe - glass, wiper motor etc. The mk1 tailgates are also prone to rotting along the lower edge (the mk2 item admittedly is not much better in this respect). For the record, rear lights will also swap from one to the other but I think the wiring would need modifying first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Would like to see a MkI with MkII rear lights, think it would look alot better with incorporated reverse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 To fit in with the mk1 fiesta theme above-found a 1980's early xr2 today. 2000 tax in the window car diddnt look a lost cause-new shocks on it! might be for sale I have phone number if any one wants to call them pm me.

jonny rotbox Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 hmmmm I`m liking the Buick....I think it`s got something to do with that red interior (not to mention 7.5 ltr V8!) but I`m guessing the speedo must read in kph as I think 200mph is rather optomistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 For some perverse reason I *really* want to get my hands on a MkI XR2. Would have to be an absolutely mint condition diamond white example, though, complete with all the original 80s spec. stick on black vinyl bits.
