last car my mam bought me before she died, I always wanted one for years and with fords pricing themselves into orbit I picked this up for £400, 1987 early chrome bumper model, 70,000 miles with fsh and all receipts, one previous owner, it had had a rear end shunt which I thought was only the bumper but turned out to be the rear panel, I couldnt get any chrome bumpers for less than £200 so bought 2 later ones from ebay for £25 and gone for the continental look, hope you like..... dented rear panel, worse than it looks rear panel removed front end with new brackets fitted front end with bumper, surround and splitter fitted rear panel welded in place, I did it like this to keep the original sidelines and boot line rear panel filled rear panel painted, light and surround in front and rear finished with exhaust and numberplates fitted door mirrors refitted after painting also removed the rear exhaust box and made a rear section with 2 outlets, sounds awesome........... |

Great work as always Darren, it'll be good to see what you end up doing. Any more plans? I really like watching 'low rent' cars get proper hi-end attention  |

Love the look of these, but why do people ruin them with these stupid number plates.
It's not a GDM, Get it on proper plates.

why......................why.........................why.........................thanks for that i thought years ago when i joined the so called retro scene that it was for the friendship and help as much as the cars, comments like that make me realise why i left it all behind..............................

You misunderstand, I like the car!
Just certain modifications, I feel spoil it.
But it's personal taste!
