Me and my mate changed the engine in an escort van,cold winters night with a tilly lamp for light and a scaffold tube to lift the engine out,we had the replacement engine in and running,all done in a couple of hours,no ECUs EGR valves or any other crap that they put onto todays modern engines to worry about.

That escort van my old greengrocer Thomas had a mk2 in midnight blue in the early 80s when he delivered our order on a Friday night. 😅

Ford always made some of the best looking cars. My brother had a Cortina Mk 1 GT in Australia. It was only when I returned here in 1979 I realised how quickly they corroded here. Often rot boxes within five years. And no one seemed to complain at the time.

The Anglia vans are really rare! There was a LHD Portugal-registered (?) one too. Looked restorable

For me it would be the Mk1 Cortina, Back in the day we never finished our 3 litre V6 custom build. It just needed brakes and spraying [even though I reckon it looked good in grey primer] But then Life got in the way.

Why would leave good body panels/doors etc.. just lying around on the grass rusting and getting filled with water? surely you would store them inside a building?
