Guest Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's a superb way to go about things, isn't it? I'm not looking forward to doing the rest of the paint on the Stanza, might just die instead. Just thinking of all that sandpaper annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So how does something like that pass inspection/emissions laws, is there some kind of age-related exemption in certain states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordpoplier Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Indeed state based exclusions on age of vehicle, that one's in Ohio and it looks like emissions testing is a bit of a joke for stuff older than 1995 - if you can just get it 30% better (no matter how bad it was) or if you spend $200 trying (even with no improvement) you can get a waiver for the 2 year cycle.....or so says the loacl DMV http://www.epa.state.oh.us/dapc/echeck/ ... extem.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ah, cheers for that, I wondered how something with an A-series engine (which must chug out something like Strontium 90 compared to catalyst-equipped Yank chod) would be allowed in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtd2000 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 So how does something like that pass inspection/emissions laws, is there some kind of age-related exemption in certain states?In a lot of states when a car is 25 years old then you can import them no problem at all. Some states don't have inspections or emissions checks either.I wanted to import a Skyline (under 25 years old ) back in 2002 but it would have cost me $25,000 just to get the paperwork done via a "registered importer" what a crock of shite!

Split_Pin Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 MK2 Escort FO'SHO'.What makes it look weird, apart from the eye-stabbingly awful bodykit and Subaru rear wong, are the rear lights.

Mash Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1981-FORD-ESCORT- ... mobiles_UK?Blimey that's an early one. The colour suits it really well like that Terracotta they first came in - really period. Actually when I was little a neighbour had a Mk2 van in that blue and it absolutely stank on hot days. There must have been some rancid chemical in that shade of paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Metro seller quote: Why am I selling? To make some space for my collection which is far too big.
