	Hi guys! I thought it was about time I registered! You may have already spotted my motor before, but here it is again anyway! This is what it looked like before the rip-off paintjob started falling off! I did think about selling it a month or so ago, but at the advertised price I would have been losing way too much money. But skint as I am, it's a keeper. It's away to go into long term storage til I do a few fabrication and resto jobs on old fords for friends. Hopefully this will generate some spare cash to make it even wilder, narrow the rear-end (or go IRS) and ditch the 17s in favour of 7x15 and 9x15 Compo' MLs! Might even change to a solid colour yet. As Contractman says... There's a lack of Corsairs here!! Hope you like so far! Leigh.

	Always liked Corsairs. Have you seen the new Ford Pubic?? That's made out of old Corsairs!

	Cheers guys! Thats the original Blue Mink metallic mixed to the factory shade... Real difficult to get the correct shade now and damn near impossible to match! Thats why it might be redone in a solid pastel colour.

	Not unless they're 16s lol. If it was me i'd be going for reproductions of old wheels in 17" size. Matt

ML's will look phat.As will banded steels. Exhaust will look way better 3 or 3.5 too.

	Problem is Matt, I can't push it as hard through the bends on the 17s as with the 15s! It will be dropped further on the coilovers to compensate tho! Leigh.

If I go for MLs, to get the look right, I'll have to narrow the front to Escort width and move the towers inboard... not a problem tho. Yup! It will be better with a smaller tailpipe... I did size up a 5" to start with tho!!! Leigh.
