Red oxide does the trick mate,not sure yet mate something old no doubt

Looking good mate doesnt look too serious from what i can see,ive used marine paint for my floor and all welding and its better than the usual Hammershite that never seems to dry Ive just pulled my efi turbo engine out and sticking in a standard efi engine then selling for something different

Glad your saving it mate cracking colour Get some resto pics up as you go Del

Good stuff mate Fords are here to test our patience lol

Go onto ebay search escort mk5 bonnet catch youll get an idea of what looks like

Your cable comes from drivers inner wing side and when you pull it the latch pulls towards the inner wing if that makes sense

Hi mate Jack car up and put your hand up to the landing panel and pop the latch bit of a squeeze but can be done

Maybe worth asking this UK breaker Ebay item number 184583996586

Welcome mate Hard to find parts that work at decent prices these days,what you needing? Del

Idle control valve mate or throttle position sensor? Just a thought

Welcome mate i was the exact same and got another 1 i was also here years ago lol Del

That Reg comes up as a Saab mate

Soo car was motd then drove it hundreds of miles to Inverness then back to my house the next day £200 in fuel lol and the turbo went on the way home all good fun tho,sooo turbo has been rebuilt and some things sorted so im going to use it on some hopefully sunny winter days then im putting a 2ltr zetec turbo silvertop in it that im building,picked up a 60k mile engine up for £150 so watch this space

Welcome mate Lets see some pics

Hi Lynn welcome One that requires no work will be hard to find these days but look for something pref standard thats not been tampered with or a bodykit hiding anything,get a poke around the battery tray and fuse box area under the bonnet also check the carpets for wet spots ,footwells known for holding water and suffering rot also arches and rear chassis legs etc Chassis number under the flap on drivers side carpet see if its got 1 lol Usual checks with Gov website for a free mot history check that will advise on any previous rot or welding Check for any gunk under oil cap and get the car up to temp and make sure fan kicks in and heaters work Theres a lot to check on these old cars now but most is always easily sorted Anything you need to know just ask and someone will give advice Cheers Del
