Very nice motors.

The polo looks great, like the stripes and the classics look classic lol. Any inner arch trimming on the rear or other adjustments? I take it they are 7J classics?

gotta say that square looks amazin in silver.. never been a great fan but that 1st photo has just changed my mind.

amazing car collection!

how sexy is that square?!

what's the spec of it?

wow that sqaure is nice! one of the best

what a stunning collection you have... the cortina van is a beast!

the mk2 square makes me want another... nice work...

I can't stop looking at it

tbh, screw the Polo! The other cars are rude!

Brill cars, wonder if the charger from that estate would fit on the G40...

I bet that sucks the birds in!

The Polo looks an absolute beauty, peach of a car.

The Kadett is a lovely rare example, looks the business too.

I'm an OSF man through and through, but sorry I don't like what you've done to either of the Cortinas. The estate one would be very nice indeed without the tints, some different wheels and an engine that fitted under the standard bonnet. (No offence mate, 'just I like sleepers). All look to be very nicely built regardless of my opinions.

100E's are a cool car, get the HPE mob to build the Pinto and don't forget a slipper. Sideways is the way forwards as they say!

Thanks for posting the pics mate.

cheer's glad you like at least 2 of them

we'll have to agree to disagree on the cortinas the van needs the parts it has to get the power it has down to the ground (for the record around 550bhp without gas ) it shares more parts with a mustang than it does a cortina to be honest

the estate will be getting a few changes but i like the tints they really aren't as dark as they look in that pic as it goes so they will be staying as for the blower that is coming off and will be replaced by something else but the stock bonnets are really plain and boring looking(fords really got it wrong with the bonnet on the mk3 ) so it will get a modified bonnet of some description . wheels i like as they suit the shape of the car and fit over the brakes. IMO sleepers are fine if don't need to stop but mostly they just look like boring stockers and i couldn't live with a cortina that looked like a stocker the ride hight and handling is crap for start

100e already has a slipper and around 150 bhp from the pinto i've built for it which is plenty for what i have in mind if want it quicker i wouldn't be using a pinto .its just an old school bit of fun the van was the one built to be serious

been watching your wifes polo thread on retro rides site man thats come a long way

Ah I just love stockers, but I know exactly what you mean regarding standard ride height and handling. Can't be done with that!

Ok, so I like mine standard looking but lowered with period "type" wheels and no body mods then! I love the look of OSF's but deffinately not the O.E. running gear!

I know the other Cortina's a monster, I saw it in Retro Ford or something ages ago. Although I don't like the look of it, I can fully appreciate why you had to do some of the body mods (tubbed arches etc).

What's the spec on the Mustang engine, is it a small or big block one? What times does it run on the quarter?

C'mon, do tell.
