Hello osf posters, brief intro, bought a 100e in august this year minus working engine and various other small bits, found a local mechanic who is into old fords, but not quite as old as mine (1958!), but he found a 1600 crossflow for me and mated it up with the existing 2000e gearbox and got it on the road for me. since then ive done various small bits to it and planned what i wanted to do with the car longer term, currently trying to put together all the parts needed to change the front suspension to coilovers and rack and pinion steering, using old ford autos services parts, which i have mainly sourced apart from a rear bowl sump for the 711m block and pickup pipe. when thats done it should be in for fitting in the new year. ive a list as long as both my arms, and getting longer, oh and the rear diff is chucking oil out the front so i guess that now needs a rebuild....another job for someone. anyway, i’m based north west of leeds, work in leeds, and looking forward to the next 3 to 5 years of watching my project ideas come to light. regards steve whitaker.

Bloody hell Sigmond!

Were not going to be in that for much longer so the garmans will have to try another tactic! They tried the front door, Theyve now tried the back door! They can keep their hands off my more door! We shall never surrender!! ✌ (You have to say it in the style of winne churchill)

I think some dont appreciate the mecca that the UK is for the world classic car market, apart from American muscle of course. While some Prius driving bureaucrat may put some of his or her Pro EU agenda onto the desk of their boss with the intent to head us down the path of electric cars and mass transit believing we are too ignorant to know whats best for ourselves, when it reaches the eyes of a politician who has banner waving MG logos and VW Beetles creating traffic jams outside his office you can be sure that most of these totalitarian proposals will get hit on the head. If the classic car fraternity and industry mobilise it will be more powerful than the tobacco lobby if nothing but in sheer manpower. We are just at the stage some anti car cycling enthusiast thinks he is controlling the narrative at the moment. The classic car backlash will be brutal and decisive. Try not worry yourselves into ulcers just yet. There will be G-Wiz burning in the streets and it will smell good.
