Why the fuck are some of them sideways damn tapatalk phone crap
old escorts love going sideways
that does look very nice
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!

Sorry to put an ugly pic in a thread called car porn! Oh dear god, they were!
They had a 1.8 in them that was horribly geared. About 10 years a friend of mine would buy one of these in an auction for about $200, put on a temporary permit, and then go travelling across the country for the summer, then sell it for about $500. If it broke down, it was all part of the adventure.

Actually Redred, i nearly forgot, see the top picture - back right of the pic there's a burgundy car with the bonnet up......... Capri restoration Will take some pics when we eventually get round to doing it
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.
