been looking around on retro rides for a bit, now i've finally bought my wagon thought i'd post a couple of pics (from previous owner)   can't take any of the credit for it, i just bought it! a few little jobs to do like replace the driveshaft seals, a bit of a re-trim, i might change the seats (not sure?) and could have to raise it a little at the front as the exhaust is scraping the edge of my driveway, i'd rather get my driveway done but it's shared with my neighbour & the miserable old git won't stump up half  |

(it's the bracket on the centre section that's catching but can't do much about it) loving the wagon anyway, cheers for all the hard work you put into it  . all the best to you and your family & keep up the good work  |

looks wicked dude, but your right about changing the seats, dunno why alot of the old skool ford peeps put new style buckets in, they just looks so out of place. some lil clubman ones would be kool, or even sum vintage singles out of something like a 100e or 105e |

I quite like the seats, actually - lol.
The car looks absolutely stunning - LOVE those wheels. Love everything about it really. Worthy of an OOF imo.

How rare are these, I think yours must be the second one with this front end I have ever seen, if that.
Beauty though.

Lovely car!
I agree that something less 'racey' in the seating department would be a good move.
And binning the "OSF" sticker obviously....

what's wrong with oldskoolford anyway? Nothin' really.... in my personal experience i've found them a touch too 'cliquey' for my liking but they're ok in their own little world i guess. I know a few of them and their nice guys |
