Some pics of my Escort Cossie today
Just fitted a load of new Roose hoses, shiny coil can, a new standard header tank, power steering tank and twin headlight conversion. Just finished it all today so here she is. What does everyone think?
Oh, and all the tinted window film that was originally in it is now gone (what a git of a job that was).

Rizla, it's only clean because it's tucked up in my garage at the moment. It only came out today so I could get it warmed up after swapping the water hoses.

M.A.D. RST, you've got good eyesight. They actually do look pretty good in the flesh, well I think so anyway.
RIZLA, I haven't got any interior pics at the moment, I've just put a couple of those fighter pilot style switches into the lower din slot where the CD player would be, because I've put a 10 disc MP3 player in the boot, so that looks quite flash. Just got to find something to connect them to now! 
Basically the interior is leather, but with a Momo Race wheel, single Kenwood headunit running 10 disc MP3 player, the car's got a Multi-lock to lock the gearlever and the sensor for the alarm is in there too. And a blank with the fighter pilot switches and a Niagra Falls badge which I picked up whilst in Canada last year (just personal to me). I'll get some more pics soon.

Nice one mate. Yes, I'll have a look.
Yes, couldn't keep away, had a dabble with a couple of other things but I always seem to come back to the Fords. And I've got the colour I wanted originally this time too. I think this one will be around for some time.

LOL at Lee. You'll never make your mind up mate! 
Although I am a bit like that too.
Yes, I like doing bits to it. The problem is, once I think it's finished and can't think of anything else to do with it I'll probably flog it!
Seriously though, I must admit, my interest in having lots of cars is waning a bit (probably my age), and there's not the same market now for RS Turbos and things that I used to buy and sell, so I might just hang onto this one for quite a while, unless I get hard up for money or I need the money for something else. I really do love the car though, I wanted a red one first time round and it would have cost me a lot less in the end if I had done that, but never mind, I've got it now.
I've been thinking about starting to trade in sports bikes or spares, but it's a struggle to find anything at the right money to be able to make it worthwhile, and I haven't got much spare cash or time these days anyway.
What are you up to these days then mate?

I'd go out to the garage and not even pull the covers off it 
Dunno why!But i still LOVE cars! What am i up to...working a lot to pay for the new house! Move in a few weeks and its quite costly, so not got much spare time to do much. As soon as we move though i will be hunting a project! Maybe a mk1 escort yet im not sure!
