Mate that's a bad one...........hope everyone was ok!

Welcome mate, no replacement for displacement is the saying I believe. I had a 3ltr v6 mk1 back in the late 80s, it was a hoot, bet the v8 will be even better. Enjoy the car, enjoy the forums mate.

Looks great, enjoy her..............but remember that a capri when given the beans will bite you in the bends.............you have been warned, enjoy and welcome. Pete

Welcome mate, enjoy the mk5

No its defiantly not Alan Mann red............how very dare you! Good luck with the sale, no regrets!

It's huge, did all my hgv there, old skool, hgv3 then hgv2 then HGV1, and yes in artics. Plus a load of other course, ending with a full driving examiner all classes and motorcycle examiner. ..........oh happy days!

Everyone had to learn, even you, they are not plaguing you lol

I only told my mate to dip the clutch! Bit of t cut will sort it

Yeah I know, I have been there several times. I did all my driving courses at Leconfield, nr Beverly, when I had a proper job in the army! So it is possibly the end of the world, but I think that title belongs to the Falklands lol.

M mm mm mm mm. ................let me think about that, Hull or auk land, what's further. Nope no eggs yet. Any way there was a guy on the flux stand who had travelled from Darlington in his s2 turbo, guess that's further than hull too

Not the pic you posted up, the one of the mk1 sport.............I know people travel to ford meets but I doubt that anyone would travel from new Zealand, now watch me get egg on my face

Think that 1300 sport was parked next to me on the flux stand at classic ford. Nice guy with his son from Wiltshire. It was very very tidy.

Well surely you knew it's loaded with "c u next Tuesday" wasters! Just stick with it and wade through all the B'S and total mens parts! Someone will turn out to be right, and just remember you don't have to answer all the bone questions asked. Keep your chin up mate!

Right here we go. Item number 271921867831 Engine price 860 Type 9 gearbox price 230 Items in Tavistock Devon. Good luck, Pete

Stick with non power, you will have arms like popeye No seriously I have even had a look at it, and it does look a good conversion................its just you know, I do like mine old skool. But if it will assist anyone, and you have the money do it!

I have jbw, or midland as they are otherwise known as. Look great though, 7 x 13. Pete

What is short time memory. .........I keep forgetting

Yeah but green flag green would be better....................

Yeah your probably right, thought it would help if they searched with the info I gave? Will log back on tomorrow night and write, remember that, the item number down and post it.

Was that not the guy who bought the restored orange mexico that they sold through auction? Or am I wrong

It's there, but am a techno phobe so don't know how to cut and paste via my tablet, type in pinto engine....or rs2000 engine and tick the in description box, I am sure it was buy it now 860 for the engine and the price for the type 9 is in the ad description. It is on there. Pete

Great car, you will be sorry! Bet you can't believe that harris mk1 went on just before yours - it's always the way, you think it's the right time to list as yours will be the best on and then another comes on. Yours will make good money and be a better option as it won't be temperamental and it won't cost a fortune to insure. Mind that harris must be a handful at over 200 bhp, it was quick on the TV for the love of cars, but yours will be the better option. That's my opinion anyway! Good luck.

Looks like a colour of a hillman avenger, remember those, an old boy had down my road when I was a yooof! And before you say it yes I know I am no use at all in this matter! Still it will probably get minds thinking

Yeah something like that, no he was after a cheap car to work on, and mine fitted the bill...........well it nearly fitted I a box, he got it sorted though. There was plenty in the scrap yards back then, and it was only the bonnet, front wings, valance and slam panel...........yeah she did do a job on it. Problem was it was on an industrial estate......and she had not passed her test...........surprising how little swearing I did!
