I had a 1600 MK1 Escort when I was 15 but made the error of fixing the outside before repairing the rust in the floor and cils, bought for £200, spent a bit on arches and lights etc... then sold for £150.
First car I could legally drivein 1998 was a 1985 Fiesta XR2 that was on the company fleet so I used to use with L plates. The day I passed my test in Jan 1989 I purchased a red 1979 Mk1 Golf GTI 9small rear lights) with a 2L Audi engine which I ran for a few months along side the XR2 until it was taken off the road with multiple problems (nothing major just lots of little things) and I parked it up for a few years before giving it away to a friend of my brothers. The XR2 snapped it's cambelt at over 70mph and wrecked the 1.6 engine which was replaced with 1.9L which was later turbo charged. I ran the XR2 until 1991 when it was part ex's for a Ford Orion......
Wish I had any of the first three as worth bit now but pretty much worthless back in the day There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t
