Paint codes

[Danny M]

Anyone got a mk parts manual handy?
On a 72 model what's the code T stand for as a paint code

[Dave]

Ford paint code 'T' is Candy Apple Red.

Would assume that also stands for the Escort though don't have the workshop manual handy at the moment.

The cars actually orange at the moment and I've never seen a mk1 in candy apple red but ford did change the codes around year to year but I haven't the parts manual handy till I get home

That actually makes sense as theres a couple of splashes of it on the bonnet hinges and things but I couldn't get into the boot just yet but it needs a lot of work so we'll see

[Danny M]

Thanks Peter
I looked through a few of my manuals after work and yes Lime Glaze it is

So, what is it (the car, not the paint), and is it yours?

[Danny M]

Thinking about it at them moment as the owner needs to get realistic as it needs a lot of work

I think he's just decided he wants to start going REALLY fast Nev.

Just take that drivetrain and stick it in a Mk1... guaranteed at least 10 seconds quicker on any track in Aus!

[Danny M]

Which drivetrain?

[wayovermyhead]

The one out of the yellow car

[Danny M]

I wouldn't ruin it by putting that drivetrain in it

[ratta tat tat]

Seeing that CK49 on the tag got my heart pumping. Best of luck with the negotiations

[wayovermyhead]

How'd you end up Danny, got yourself a twink yet?

[Danny M]

Yep we bought another one

[wayovermyhead]

Well done mate, What's the plan... just a street car or something more? You mentioned it needed a lot of work too??
