I've never done a modding thread before and I'm not the most literate of people but I do have plans to modify - would you guys be interested if I started a thread?

[mexicansteve]

Hello chap, always intrigued to see where you go next!

[SmokeEm]

Thanks Steve, not going to go mad with this, just uprate/personalise it a little.

I think you'll find that Matchbox cars are worth more with the box!

It'll be fine, got the Triumph, unseen, one drunken night 4 years ago and that's been great fun.

I once went to Antwerp with a trailer to collect a car that I didn't even know what type. mate found it and refused to tell me any details other than he knew I'd want it. Somebody else needed some paintings transporting over to Belgium so paid my expenses and therefore took a risk. Unfortunately somebody else who had viewed the vehicle months before had sent a cheque as payment in full the day I went to view so they had first dibs
The car - BMW 600.

Mate was right - I was desperate for it (previously had an Isetta and this is it's big brother)

I bought my Cortina sight unseen, that went ok......ish.

[Mercdan68]

ive bought a 3.0s capri ten years ago unseen, two mk5 cortinas unseen and a sierra azura unseen,,,all off them turned out great,,,just got to follow your instincts

[grifterkid]

That may be a tiny image but it looks shiny enough... Also, being one owner with only 54k miles cannot be a bad thing!

Good luck with it sir, I think a thread needs to be started on 'Readers Rides' as soon as possible...!!!

[SmokeEm]

I will start a thread once collected. The modifications I have planned might not be to everyone's taste but you guys on here seem an accommodating bunch so you'll hopefully go easy on me.

If anyone is nervous that they may have missed a trick here I am happy to sell them my Cortina mk5 to you 'sight unseen'.
