Heres some pics of the Escort panelvan i had a bout seven years ago... wish i never sold it sometimes.. especially as the guy who bought it trashed it !!!

This had a "from the ground up" rebuild, worked 2 litre motor that kicked arse!! originally i had a 45mm sidedraught Weber carby on it but an RTA defect notice meant it had to go (replaced with a 38mm carb from a V6 capri), as did the loud exhaust :lol , XA GT falcon bonnet scoops front and rear spoilers, retrimmed interior, power windows etc etc.

I even had this car in "Hot 4s & performance cars" magazine (readers rides section).. And YES i did cart the odd pinball in it.. Before it was done up mostly

Hey Matt, show your little feller and see if he remembers that drive up and down your driveway with me!

I love the Karmann Ghia too!

Here's a couple of pics of my beast.
I don't have it any more but she was a real head turner and you could hear me coming for miles. :)

Here is my money pit, a 1965 Lincoln Continental.

I am just building a new motor, the original was 430 cu in (7 litre) and I am just about to start on the new 510 cu in (8.7 litre)fuel injected motor.

So far all I have done is lowered in 3 inches all round and put on the 22" 150 spoke wires wheels.

My mate also pinstriped the car for me.

I will  start to strip the car down after I have built the motor for paint, which will be a white roof with a candy blue lower section.

I purchased the car from San Fransisco in 2004 and had it on the road for a year before pulling the motor out.

Cheers Angelo
