red5 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 So, small update etc etc. really is an appallingly sparse thread - must try harder. Coprolalia, ProgRocker, Mr Laurence and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 And some much needed tlc Oil change - although it ws spotless it was 16 years old... Note to self - it only has enough clearance for the short Zetec filter. And now the o/s electric window works as well. And the boot release. And the radio.

mk2_craig Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Update appreciated! That door wiring looks like a right old birds nest, was that the root cause of the problem or did the dreaded Ford window cable issue come into play here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdan4 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 That’s wonderful. Were it mine I’d be straight down the bus station/sea front for a bit of relieved youff croozing please keep the updates coming. mercedade, mk2_craig and davehedgehog31 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red5 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Fuel gauge is a bit meh. Had to source a replacement tank and sender/pump. Always fill them up before storage....always. Fuel cap broke off. Bugger. Single wiper aligned to wrong side of screen. Brakes a bit, well, 'stood for 16years' if you follow. However, he/she/it is awaiting a test .. scdan4, paulplom, sutty2006 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red5 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 So, I need storage for the beast or sale incoming. No shows, no space now and it deserves proper attention now or after storage. Had two offers for bits so far, unsolicited....is there that much interest in mk3s these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Glad I've seen this thread. Looks great! There is a growing following of the Mk3. Not seen one under 4 figures for sale for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Do love a Mk3. It’s a shame you can’t keep it and continue. Hopefully someone on here buys it and continues it....... hopefully that person isn’t me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 So what's the actual story with this, then? Why was it stored for so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Went into po dad's garage in 2006 I believe, then life got in way. I, with help from mk2craig and cintwelder effected a recovery / prevention from breaking for parts. It's Mot'd but in need of fettling. Time is something I seem to have none of. Umm.

Its very shiny in real life, a proper eye catching colour. It's the best one unrestored one I've seen in years. Fuel gauge sorting. Decent,new rubber fuel hoses. Filler neck retainer replacing. Gearbox oil change. An engine mount replacing. Tidying. I removed 10billionty webs from it. Makes a lovely noise, and pulls like a fish. Was a car mag feature car as well.....oooooh etc. Cento16v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cento16v Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 There’s a chap on Instagram who used to write for Max Power, might be worth a picture on there and tagging him for interest from the right crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I kinda like that. It'd fit well between Dave's Escort van and my Mondeo mk3 estate. 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure tbh, I stumbled across him on Instagram, there's some cracking old photos he pops up. I missed out on the owning the Max Power age of cars as i was too young. I used to get Max Power and Revs, but always preferred Cars and Car Conversions, which was much easier to get my parents to buy me as it wasn't full of tits 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
