ahh an old video, but still a good un!

ohhh i want a van so much!!! thats lovely, and the 4 door is gangster!

pop parts plus do them but....... old ford autos are much much better

looking forward to my evening, tammy has gone to work, mackenzie is in bed just me a bottle of wine and kerrangs top 100 videos. crack on!

awesome, iv watched that about 8 times now, it doesnt stop being funny

so long as i have the cash i might be interested in this, maybe pair up with big kev

i put a pair of jeans on not long ago, found 100 notes in the back pocket, tammy was gutted, she now checks my pockets before washing anything, lol

i have an old fitted bedroom suite ripped out of my spare room, saves me gettign a skip! lol

i regularly see mine push past 120 pulling near 7000 rpm in 4th by christ it gets there quick too!

happy birthday OLDSKOOLFORD! heres to the next 5 i remember joining not too long after the site started,me an tammy first met the founding members when we drove down to meet you at stevenage in a tesco's car park, it was bloody freezing!!!

kev i may be able to get a contact number for cambs police skid pan near peterborough let me know

lol that little red pug refuses to die i sold it to a mate who keeps ragging it, lol the engine was fine mate it went with my old escort when i had some time out from old fords, however im now back with avengence, lol james

i remember that name, i bought an engine off you, the reason for the 1700 in my name

it safe here in lincolnshire but we wont release it until we have the ransom

my volvo has just sold on ebay (just wasnt me) so im thinking of a capri, nothing special just a decent 2.0 ready to use and abuse and have confidence to drive it anywhere, im quite looking forward to it

only problem with an easy out is if they snap you have no hope of drilling it out. thos sockets will do the job no problem

lol, im gonna save all of these for when mackenzie can understand me!!!

like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IRWIN-BOLT-GRIP-5 ... 7C294%3A50 im sure machine mart do them and will be open in the morning

i have a set of sockets at work that have a slight reverse thread in them. basically you hammer the socket on and as your turn it grips the bolt and will spin it out i think these are avaliable from the likes of screw fix and machine mart not snap on etc but they will be good enough for the job you need to do james

i could be up for this young kevin, am i allowed tho i cant fit an x pack to mine it has too many doors

thanks lads it means a lot to have some nice comments dale yes my fingers were so very sore and seemed to lock into a wierd position, lol oh and dont tempt me i love your car

im glad mick got out alright that looks terrifying, i am gutted that such an iconic car is no more i have loved this car since the day i saw it

ah go on do it, its a lot of work there though, you just know when its stripped the crust will keep going butonce its all cut out you can do what you like with it,

iv done quite a bit to the old escort recently, in the quest for more power i bought a 1700 xflow and stripped the engine bay down primed and painted in some more cordoba beige 2 pack. once that was dry i put the new 1700 in and began fitting the bias pedal box i bought so i had room for the twin 40's, plus it cleaned up the engine bay no end. i also managed to paint my alloy rocker cover beige too which finishes off the bay a treat if you ask me. i have also fitted some rear disks as i had the bias pedal box to fit i thought it would be rude not to. so with some recon sierra rear calipers, new pads, mk3 escort solid front discs and a pair of retromotorsports finest brackets i set to fitting them, im afraid i have no during pictures but it was quite simple really once i turned the shafts down i bolted them back in the axle and bolted the discs on. i then bolted the calipers to the brackets with the 22mm spacers and welded them on. then i made up the solid brake pipes and bolted the axle back under the car. next i took a sierra handbrake cable made a couple of brackets and bled it all up all in all im very happy apart from the rears have locked on once or twice but thats a minor issue really and a simple fix next up i think is an alloy rad and even more power i think oh and a wash its filthy at the moment

that looks spot on sam, keep the arches too it looks awesome mate
