some of you will no this cabriolet from the shows and meets its been there pride n joy for a few years now and after a few problems with it over the last year or two it had finally been taken off the road . as the list got longer and longer it was sorned and parked up near there house and after a few visits to the club stand without there cabby chatting about getting it back on the road we came up with a plan to get it in a garage and store it for a bit down my way as storage is a bit cheaper than where they lived well many months passed and it still sat at there place as time went by the cabby started getting keyed and scratched ..lucky enough the hood has stayed untouched and the bodywork has not been dented .so they decided to get rid as it was getting to the point of gonna be worth scrap (far to good for that or breaking ) I am friends with dave and terri on facebook and saw they had put it for sale on the xr club and see a few people interested in it so sent dave a message and said if they want it gone I would take it . ( alice not to happy lol ) well thanks to bigjon who picked it up for me last night and arrived back at mine in the early hours this morning . I am not gonna keep it but I am going to give it a fresh coat of paint and give it a good tidy up and then sell it to keep another one alive .. maybe even dave n terri can buy it back few piccys for you

hi mark not bad hey rear shocks easy enough if you can get the nuts undone lol

hello peeps This is something that has come up a few times in the club when at shows etc as most will no we have a new addition to the family and as we want to keep attending the shows as a family we had a few options put Nicholas in the front seat and alice in the back .. not very comfy for long journeys bring the focus to all the shows.. to expensive so after fitting the isofix bracket in the st focus our daily drive I thought I would try something bracket brought from fords isofix fitted to the focus before fitting the bracket to the focus I thought I would try it and see if I could bolt it through the floor of the escort but hey presto the bracket holes line up to the original rear seat belt fixings so no drilling required isofix bracket fitted to the cabriolet now for obvious reasons while Nicholas is traveling in the back the roof will stay up due to safety reasons and of course the intense heat we have here in England lol but once the next seat is purchased which is the pearl and sits forward facing :>) the base fitted some details on the base The Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix Base is compatible with Maxi-Cosi Pebble, Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix and Maxi-Cosi Pearl car seats, providing easy of use from birth until 4 years.
