  8. Last night rally I went to was over 30 yrs ago going from Asda over to Cwm Cadlan by the reservoir. This one started near abergavenny. I noted 1 x mexico,1 x rs2000 and about 8 mk2 escorts with many of them being 4 doors. Even a hillman avenger more door. The organisation was great and the cars in excellent condition.lots of shitty FWD cars.
  9. It's scary when it does happen.this was due to a cracked petrol pipe near the dizzy. The ramair filter certainly accelerated the fire . Took ages to get the carb clean.
  10. Oh go on,ermine white with black bonnet wearing a set of minilites with 2 up and 2 down cibies

  14. Bermuda blue maybe
  15. Which one to go for Are newman and turbosport cams ok. Going to get another engine rebuilt over the winter so starting to squirrel away some parts.
  16. With the engine ticking over the voltmeter shows 13.9 v. When the lights are on the volts drop to 13.6 and then back to 13.9. I have them on a switch and relay. The kit I bought came with the relay,switch and wiring loom and was a plug and play job.
  17. Add some of these exhaust tail pipes for 11 quid and you take any car to the next level. Simply stick on with tape provided for that 500 bhp look
  18. Quick piccy
  19. The wheels look great. I popped into a local paintshop yesterday. He looked around the car and said it needs to be bare metalled and primed and shit. £10k and 6 weeks. Need to put the lottery on.
  20. I agree with you. That's Saturday afternoon taken care of.
