Guest Alanman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Had a thought about returning Bigcab to the original grill and lights. Does anyone have any laying about gathering dust? I like the idea but Clare likes the Hella lights. #dodgy MS paint for illustration# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alanman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Cheers. Indecators are not needed but could be interested in light. How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alanman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'll just make sure Clare's up for it and I'll have that. Will be a good start. Thanks. I'll be in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanman Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Although £15 was a great offer, thankyou, I couldn't find the matching pair. So I've given in to my eBay demons and bought a pair for £26 with all fixings. Just need a grill now. After 15 years I never thought we'd be UN-modding Bigcab. Lol.

ianxr3i Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 No worries Alan. I'm glad you got a matching pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 i actually think the standard front will look alot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smiler Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Standard front looks much better than the other set up in the pics. Sorry, but the other set up looks like change for change's sake. I might just have a standard grill amongst my spares pile hidden away somewhere. I'll have a look. On the subject of grills, if anyone has a hella spot lamp grill as shown on the front of my car I would be eternaly gratefull. Mine has broken clips following an unfortunate accident involving a now written off astra estate a few years ago.

Guest Alanman Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 There's a set of those with light on ebaoy. I saw them the other day. We came back with the 3 bar grill from classic ford but if you do find the grill you have please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smiler Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks for that, just had a look. There's two on there at the moment, sadly both have broken bottom clips. Mine has good bottom clips but broken top clips. I shall have a root around, most of the parts I have are in the parents loft with a few bits in the garage. I only moved out 18 years ago! I'll be in touch. (I have to be careful, I also have some Cortina spares hanging around so I'm hoping that the grill I remember having isn't a Cortina item) Smiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanman Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Lights have come and I thought I'd try it out to see what it'd look like. Imagine the grill green, and all lined up better obviously. lol. It dont look too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smiler Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Looking better. I've bad news I'm afraid, I can't find that grill anywhere. It must have already gone. I did clear out a job lot of parts on ebay a few years ago and it must have been amongst them Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanman Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The dilema we have is that the Hella lights are the ones that belong to the Rieger kit. If you went to Rieger and asked for the F40 kit for the Mk3 Escort, that's the lights they would supply you with. If anything, changing to the standard lights is modding for modding sake. lol. Suppose we've got em now. We've see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
