typical tight arse northern reply 🤣

youll have to pop down for a cuppa and more inspiration Carey

changed a lot now lol, did you see upstairs

been told i should convert one of the toilets in my unit into a shower lol, cant bring myself to do it at the mo lol, but i like the brick tiles, would have to be tool box red ones tho

you been sneaking a look at mine lol

thats where the junk i bought came from, never again

yeah, a R eal S hitty one

RP, the repro heater matrixes you refer to are absolute junk tbh, i bought one a few years back, wrong physical size, incorect fpi and fluid channels, they basically hold half the amount of fluid a ford one does, i replaced that for a genuine ford NOS one in the end, what Dave aka jerrytom is after is a NOS genuine ford one, as most of the used ones usually leak, dave pressure tests them and most if not all hes bought have been leakers

Greg, i hope for that money you got all the arts that are missing from that picture, ie, filter, pipe union and olive (there are 2 size unions) and next time ask, ive got a bag full of the dam things

cheap dave, go for it, you know you want to, thats the first thing everyone sees, its a must

as long as you know theyre bills, youll be able to give them back to him

tbh, the area im in, and I cant believe much of the country is any different any more, I wouldn't leave a classic car of any kind on my drive un attended for a minute, nor a garage that dosnt have an alarm, cctv, and more locks that you can shake a stick at I just wouldn't be able to sleep at night

just got an e-mail this afternoon to say this event has now been cancelled, the e-mail says tickets can be transferred to another show, but theres no mention of a refund

I had it on my purple one while it was being restored, bear in mind the price will be dependant on lots of factors tho, mainly, value, place its stored, and the storage security, and the latest thing theyre all over with most classic vehicle insurances now, is how often do you visit the car, but as said above, mine was cheap as chips, but it was in a locked and alarmed building and they wanted photos of it also, laid up insurance does not get put on the mid database, so you defo cant drive a car on the road with it

if you look back, he was living in hopes of finding a sympathetic DVLA employee to give him the details

DVLA will NOT give any previous keepers details anymore, the previous owner details have now been deleted on all new V5s as well

I used hockley enterprises in Southend, lead time was 3 months though, but the job was A1

wat have you got, a nice axminster or pursian rug to go in Greg

Greg, they are like rocking horse droppings for the crossflow engine, Jerrytom did get some made a year ago, but he sold them all, just put your straps round the engine mounts

looks mk1 escort to me, up to nov 73, as theres no ARB brackets

personally with a garage floor like that, I would raw bolt them to the floor, using the bolt type not the stud ones, then you can take them up and put them down as many times as you want, and feel perfectly happy in the knowledge your washing ironing and cooking slave will be around for a while longer

just an update, today kellye got the e-mail from the nec offering us a pich, which we have officially declined given the situation, tbh, I would be very surprised if this event actually goes ahead, as the restrictions, I would think we are the first of a big line of refusals also this year theres no live stage, the 4 main tv restoration programs appear to have pitches in hall 5 though, so I assume just displaying past works, and they intended to put us in the far corner, right in the corner, where what would have been back stage of the live stage, with and area each end against the wall that we couldn't use, as these were/are a pillar and electrical outlets, this giving 2 un useable areas, they recommended to only display 4 cars to be able to adhere to covid restrictions, but I think size wise we would have been down to 3 short cars, and a stand that no one would have visited due to its location a shame, but hopefully next year we will be back with a vengeance, and a better pitch

aha, see just 10 miles from me, although I wouldn't probably come in an osf, I may just go to say hello

I know its only at the idea stage, but Essex is a big place, any idea where your thinking of, what sort of day/time of day etc, may just get you a little more response

get genuine ford, or pattern rubber, silicon are junk, ask Nick to his cost, lousy fit, leak and wrong shapes
