Why the fuck are some of them sideways :facepalm: damn tapatalk phone crap
old escorts love going sideways:lol:
that does look very nice:tup:
Yeah, its in great nick for its age, we're just fixing a bit of rust on the front arches :)
Reminds me of my '78 Fiesta. We never got the Escort that early. We got a bloated Americanized one...
Here's a similar vintage Escort Wagon, with stick-on woodgrain no less!

Is the Capri a V6? Damn near bought one of those - it was cheap because it needed a piston and ring job and it still had torque like a freight train.
Pardon my OCD for a moment, it's not controllable,
Nice ride, love it, but God I fucking hate the samco hose kits.. Too much rubber (silicone) for a shit load of money. I much prefer aluminum tube for it all with just short straight pieces to terminate the connection. Nickle coated mild steel is pretty as well in place of a alum.

That brings back memories :lol: I had a 2.8 Capri and a 20 year old 3L Capri in my younger days, the 3L was just great for frightening your passengers, you could kick out the back end round a corner and pull it back in again just as quick, made for some interesting driving. :lol:Quote:
