Thats not a mk4 in the picture its a mk5a or a mk6 , mk4 is from 1986-1990 trims are totally differant.
If its a mk4 86-90 rear black trim you want a guy on ebay sells them.

What year ?
-
Nice, always look good in red.

The inlet manifold bolted on the back of the engine shows Efi stamped in big letters on the front, and also mfi will have a distributor cap on the right hand side of the engine, efi has a coil pack instead. Have you got a Haynes mk4 manual ,it’s like a bible for cars and shows you lots of close ups of parts, well worth buying one. We alll had to start somewhere as you are doing now.
-
Am surprised, all tennis cars I have seen are mfi, they seem to be registered between July and December 1989
-
Have you asked at a parts dept in ford dealers ?
-
Check all hoses around throttle body for leaks or tears
-
Just bought my third cab, hope it looks as good as yours when finished.
-
Welcome, good to see another one saved. Top work.
-
Try rs turbo breakers in Bournemouth , they sell replacement body panels, unsure if they do mk6, but give Ian a call.
-
One on eBay for £4250, needs finishing tho
-
Nice collection, not many of them around, if one comes up for sale I would guess would still be running standard engine, expect to pay around 7 k
-
Collected a couple of rear arch repair panels over the weekend, hope to start work soon.
-
Down to you, original factory spec cars worth more money, but its your car and you want it the way you want it.
-
Looks, half modded already, I have just bought another and gonna modify it, saying that I do have nice original tennis I owned for sixteen years.
-
I have had problems with earths to car body, worth checking ?
-
Steve I have have a tennis , but feel helpless as I have not had these problems, but I will ask ask a old school ford mechanic tomorrow to see if he knows anything.
-
Thanks den,still ordering a few panels m8.
-
I have been trying to buy all new front end suspension and joints ,that’s interesting you had to source from Germany . ( mk4 escort rs turbo)
-
Yea agree m8, and your colour, but I think white suites the body kit better
-
Yea, I guess it’s got broken over the years, don’t mind it as is it to be honest, got a bit of work ahead but should be worth it.
-
It looks better in the pictures than it actually is, quite a bit of welding required around arches and sills. Plan is to fit my replacement turbo engine in after all bodywork and underside works are done.
-
A little work needed underneath on seals and such, but a beauty. Will keep posted.
-
Wow, that’s difficult if it was for sale at at classic car dealer they would probabally Mark it up at £15,000 plus, saying that they would not offer you that amount. It may be worth asking a couple of dealers what they would give you for such a low mileage and excellent condition car, then make your own mind up. Good luck.
Rear Bumper trim

No,don’t see them to often, may have to buy a cheap second bumper and remove the trim, it’s not easy to get them out and put them in spot on either. Good luck
