Ive been looking for a bonnet for my old girl for ages. Have tried Rare Spares, TM, Auto Wreckers etc and cant find a thing. Anywhere else that anyone knows of that I might have better luck with?

you need to be careful with frontal body panels for these, while the 2 &4 door mk2 sedans were a new design, tight old ford still used the mk1 body for the mk2 wagons and vans, with different guards ( and possibly bonnets )on these and they are not the interchangeable with the sedans.

ironic, isn't it . not so terribly long ago, Escort & Cortina parts were a dime a dozen. Not so now, apparently.

give horopito motors a call they have everything from 1940s us tanks to a secound paddock full of 80s and 90s to early 2000 wracks.

It's an awesome place to loose yaself in. While the rest of the crew where milling around, another old boy and I got wandering. He's a big fulla, and I said I hoped we didn't meet someone coming in the other direction while we were exploring down all the narrow alleys.
"She's right boy, you just stick behind and I won't stop, so they'll have to back up or get squashed."
When we heard the roar of V8's firing up, we realised we were being left behind. "Stuff it - I've got my keys. Have you got your's"?
"Yeh boy - no hurry then eh"

What about a squircle headlight for a Mk1. We hosted the Taupo Hotrod Club on Sat for a couple of shed raids. At the first call, the owner of the second planned raid backed into a Scort and broke the light. Apparently they are hard to find.
I have made a suggestion that he look for a 'round' grill, and replace those crap lights with round Halogen lights.
