    New to UK - Escort & Capri projects

    I've just moved back to the UK from Australia.....Before you ask why, its for health reasons (the heat was not good for my medical condition)

    Now I've got that out of the way, I have two classic Ford projects left from a big collection I left back in Australia. These are a Mk 1 Escort Panel Van and a Mk 3 Capri. I will be going modern power-plants in both. The Escort will be getting a Zetec, while the Capri will be getting a Duratec. I'm currently sourcing the parts before my cars arrive out from Australia early next year.

    You should ship your whole collection back, would probably pay for the shipping costs and restoration of the van and Capri!

    Unfortunately, what I've found is people are more mouth than trousers when it comes to buying imported cars.
    There is a lot of outlay to import a car, logistics, duty and taxes, storage as you can't sell the car for 12 months once it arrives (as a personal import)
