Yep Niadalla, Esky as in Escort. Mine's just a GL, not the Ghia. Its got little Hotwire mags, cream colour, and the vinyl roof was tan I think. Dunno, it was REALLY faded before I peeled it off. The rust in yours sounds just like what mine has... Plus some in the front of the roof where the seam in the vinyl roof was, and in the C pillar underneath that useless vent! What are you going to do with yours? Is it a two or four door?
I spent some time getting around in a couple of mk2, worked 2 litre coupes. I just love them (along with so many other cars), and decided to get one now so that I can actually drive around in a car that I enjoy driving. I really enjoy driving, so want to be in something I like.
Sorry Netix, have only just seen this!
Hubs has been talking about doing her up again and having it as the kids first car. Makes me chuckle. Mine was a 4 door.
I LOVED my esky!!!! Was the best car ever when I was a little P plater. My favorite part of the car was the lovely wooden dash.... lmao. It was green with a cream vinyl roof.
Hubs has a project car that has stalled for quite some time now, a 1970 Ford Capri that he wants done up..... it's going to be a LOOOONNNNGGGGG project though.
Niadalla; It would make a great first car! At least they'll be able to drive, and not have the car do everything for them! Wooden dash, omg, mine doesn't even have that! Just black! Ooh, early capri..... Tell him to hurry up before it rusts into the ground! Get him to set some small goals for it. That might help.
Leesa, not to burst your bubble, but have you been for a ride/drive in a lowered wagon? They are a bit harsh IMO. Standard, good. Lowered, not so much.
