I got my car featured in Fast Ford Magazine

[Humpty's Revenge]

I thought you lot could do with a laugh :d

Below is one of my infamous Mk2 Mexico Ford Escorts which I built many years ago. This was the best one out of the lot.

I got this back from the body work shop and put it on 4 axle stands and took everything of the car so it was just a completely bare shell.
Within 3 weeks and 5 days the car was fully built including the engine with an MOT and tax on it.

Funny thing which was really spooky is I got it on the road the day it was originally registered.

I was speaking to Nutter_John on our mini meet and he thought I should of put this on with a title from the 80`s.

A friend (pictured) was there some of the time helping me with the awkward stuff.

I knew these cars inside out and probably still do, just need the grey matter to move along a bit quicker./Hmmm

If you cant see the write up then I`ll try to post up more pickies with just text, but I was a little annoyed about the details as I never quoted a lot that was said within this magazine, the editor got the push around 6 months latter. Says it all really.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the article and the minder style pose!!

That was the good or in my hair bad old days.

I had the lot cut of just after the mag came out to what you know now.

That`s why I posted this up as I knew everyone needed a damn good laugh./lol

Where is the car now?

That was a good mod, but had to be reversed back to a straight cut 4 speed trans X box to which I had to put the scissor jack in the foot wells with some sturdy wood and wind it back in until I could refit the normal mount.

As for where it is now I don`t have a clue mate. I just checked my car checker and it is still sorn.

I stripped it out and sold all the parts seperatly way back in late 97` as way back then they were worth more than the complete car, OH Sh1t is that the other way round now bud. Only for hind site hey dude. KERCHING now!!:laugh:

Cheers Karl, I am proud mate but I did`nt really like the way the write up was done with the mistakes in the modified section that was`nt quoted by me.

I did enjoy getting the car featured and being a small Island it got a lot of attention for many months.

I then took the strips of and put the original Mexico strip kit back on then changed the wheels to gold minilights and put a straight cut gearbox in it which you could do 62mph in 1st gear.

Several more changes took place over the year.


its still insured ASKMID says so anyway !!
