List all the Ford 4 cylinders you own or owned, add a brief comment of being modified or kept standard
List first to last.
This is my list.
1) 69 MkII Cortina sedan 1300 (Sunroof made with an axe)
2) 72 Mk1 Escort Panel van 1300 (Many mods, worked 1600Kent, side draught 45mm Dellorto etc)
3) ? BC Escort (They looks like MkII  ) Panel van 1600 (bought for parts, already slightly modified)
4) 80 BC Escort 2dr (mild modified 1600)
5) 75 MkII Escort 2dr body, did not finished project
6) 74 Mk1 Escort Panel van (modified suspension and mild 1600)
7) 77 BC Escort sedan 4dr 2.0L auto standard.
8) 86 KC TX3 Laser standard (Should call it a Mazda as it was Jap built)
Probably forgot a few.

1st car was a Ford 1985 Telstar. Only modification was a chrome skull head on the shifter.
She did 380,000ks before she went to the big wrecker in the sky. |

| I haven't owned any myself. I had 2 mates with old cortina's though which I helped rebuild so I was part owner by proxy. One was a mk2 1.6 and the other a TC 2L that went great till the cam belt snapped and we had to replace it. It got totalled by someone running a red light. I was pretty into the 2L cortina's back then. That guy's brother bought a TD 4.1 ghia that was really nice for 6 months until he smashed it up. |

The Missus had a KF Laser, 1.6L. I know its really a Mazda design, but it was built in Homebush! Go Aussie built cars 
Ran really nice until she smashed the front end. The FIL and I put a new radiator in, and bashed out the front and bonnet until it locked, and it was drivable again. Looked awful, but it passed another 2 rego's like that! Amazing. |

Can not remember if KF and KH TX3s were built here like the stockies (I have a feeling TX3s were not), but KC and KE TX3 Lasers were built in Japan and the stockies were built here. |
