Default Old Fords rotting in my mates Field.. With Pics!!!

I love old Fords, but my mates yard just nearly makes me weep, these 23 pictures are only some of them, and there all sat there rotting away, some are not salvagable but you could have a field day with parts. some are not fords but who cares. check out the old merc limo. he does banger racing but most of these have been sat for years. have a look.

Actually, if he put some of those on E-BAY as 'projects' I bet he'd get some bids. I've seen some really awful condition old Fords on there and people seem to want them for restoration now, and certainly pay more than I would.

he just is in the right place at the right time, that limo merc he paid 200 quid for.. its gotta be worth shit loads in parts.. an the mk1 granada coupe he paid 25 quid for.. and all the granada mk2;s he buys them 10 a penny.. the white granada mk2 thats in the pictures that are a bit dark is taxed and tested and in good nick, he has just sold that for 400 quid... !!400 quid!!! i'd have swapped my granada cossie for that gladly..

makes no difference does it.. that is what i would do with them, and he will only use them for parts anyway. most of the granada's get there running gear used in other motors for bangering.. bad i know but its up to him.. he don't pay a lot for them so they don't owe him anything
