Not my choice, I prefer the UK ones

South African domestic light units

I just got round to looking at the brakes. I found this, hand crafted hub cap, it doesn't look like it would keep much out. 😳

nice

Oh that's a bugger. Its always a gamble to put in you best /highest bid. I always think of what I want to pay, and then ad some extra money , that I don't want to pay, just so I get the item. I guess you are thinking, I wish Id put on a higher bid ,now

Nice pics, a bit of everything. I like the Imps🙂

Click, its here

I've got a tow bar from a 1979 2 door Escort 1600 sport , on ebay at the moment, with a 99p start price. It might do somone a turn 🤔

Must be a world shortage of the fluffy stuff that goes between the card and vinyl 😁

This is a SA car , one of the many “ specialist repairs “I’m finding and correcting 🙄

Perhaps this should be in “ bodged repairs, show us your worst” thread 😳

Probably hoping to nick your catalytic converter, but he was thwarted, as yours was already gone 😁

Hi all, I’m looking to sell my very high performance, Basil Blue, Perarna ,exhaust manifold. must be worth a fortune, as I’ve seen nothing else like it. 😂 good for melting all your wires😂 I will be replacing it with a more mundane , conventional one . 🙄

I’ve been going through my late Father’s slide collection, and came across a couple of pictures of his Mk 1 and 2 Cortina’s with us kids on Holiday. The 1965 was in the New Forrest I think, about 1967 and the Mk 2 was in or on the way to Austria, with a new idea of self drive package holiday with Cosmos in 1970.😀

There was about 3 times that amount , but I only took 2 pictures 🙄

I had a tootle down to Eastboune harbour today, in my Mk1 Cortina. 2 other mk1 cortina’s, a few mustangs, a mk1 escort bubble arch parked next to me.

I do like a hot Anglia, I've owned a few back in the day......................................🙄

its a crush spacer, no biggy

You can do it yourself, you can get the bearings from a local bearing supplier. There are measurements that you need to abide by, you will need access to a dial gauge. I’m sure there are u tube tutorial’s for building English differential’s once you have taken you time, and done your first one, you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about😁

I’ve never used Prestone , but it’s blurb does sound like it’s very good all round.

Normally what happens , is the pinion bearings wear, allowing the pinion/crown wheel mesh to change from its correct mesh, and making a howl when you get on and off the power. the solution is to strip check and repair, or get a good second hand one. if you are going to rebuild , I’d put a ATB centre in at the same time😀

Blue for older cast iron engines. Pink for alloy and cast modern engines. Prestone is supposed to mix with any antifreeze, but I've never used it.

I think you will find its the diff

This is the style Taunus I was thinking of
