Michael Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm Michael,38 year old from grays,essex.I'm a self employed prop builder(star wars,doctor who stuff mainly)and my main hobbies include costuming for charity and fiberglassing myself to things(not on purpose) I use to own loads of 'old' fords....capri's,cortina and mk3 escorts.Just managed to get another ford and it's a nice escort 1.6 flight. Had a few major problems with it,front wheel was warped and hitting the caliper,oil sump plug not plugging the oil( ) and knackered front brakes, but all in all its a damn fine car that I feel I could drive anywhere.I have a few bits I'd like to do to it,but it needs to be a practical car so no major lowering(well maybe a little )then alloys,sort out the wheelarch rust and fit a rev counter...... I've owned vauxhall vans for a number of years(work vans that is)so I'm looking forward to car ownership again. Hopefully I can bring something here.
