I love my little girl like no tomorrow but am starting to feel I'm in a minority?
Surely you guys have some love for the humble 80s cabby?
I love my little girl but she's breaking my heart.
I wanted to post a picture but not sure how to?

cabriolet

fella gotta love hate relationship with mine converted it to diesel now 3 years into a restoration but would not part with it for the world [its a mk5 by the way]

Moleculz

Mine's a mk4
White with a white roof which was white roof out of the factory but been replaced with a new one due to a slashing incident. RS Turbo alloys. No silly body kit.
A very special little thing but getting old now

XROC is probably the wrong forum too - try the Escort Cabriolet Club.

JRG1

Or you could just stay here,there's lads on here with cabbys too

Got a mk5 si130 cab on my drive... Afraid to say ill probably be breaking it soon though...
As for mk3 / mk4 cabs, I love em!

Moleculz

Everyone seems to have a mk5. What's wrong with the mk4s?

Fordmad!

Love my mk4 but mk2 xr2 is calling me.....

RstAaron.

Moleculz

Moleculz

cossiestu

I agree! Body is well rusty and its at the point where its worth a lot more in bits....
Still in one piece at the moment...

I love mine and at least twice a year I'll tell myself I'll sell it and get a real rs but 5 years down the line she no closer to leaving me than the day I got her lol

Moleculz

Had mine 19 yrs. someone's agreed to buy it from me and I have very mixed feelings about it. I love her but she can't be left anywhere safely, and she let's me down from time to time. I will miss her every day but I don't deserve to keep her anymore because I hardly ever go out driving.
All those memories though........

1.9 xr2 on 40's

i called him about that too lol
i wasnt sure which way to go as i need a grey bumper and bonnet for my 3i but have cabrio 1/2 leather interior and all the rs gear to fancy up a cabbie

Moleculz

Colin and I both really like the picture and he told me to ask you how much you want for it?
Or do you have a buyer?
I suppose it's too personal to sell? Sorry to ask but I am just pawn and do what I'm told


0.5 since the MOT
I used to think 600 a year was bad!

Moleculz

Forgive me. Been on beer. Ashamed to admit that is a personal message I didnt realise was on my clipboard

Moleculz

This is what I meant. 0.5 since MOT
I should be ashamed

johnnysash

Yep.....similar here although black roof that is about to be changed for a white one as the black one is past it's best! Love it....use the bad boy to drive to work every day from east to west London...might have to fit an rs kit soon though to hide the rusty wheel arch...lol

I saw a white mk4 xr3i cab in town the other day. Wasn't in too bad of condition. There was what looked like a family of 6 squeezed into it. The back end was on the deck.

Depends on the type of engine you are going for. If its a NA one then i wouldnt bother and just to a straight zetec swap. If you are thinking turbo then you have a few opions depending on budget
