  1. Typical I sold it too you and few months later my bonnet flew open at 70 mph and got all bent up End up taken mine off the road after that as it wasn't drive able due to being bent

  3. I have been asked by a friend to put a wanted ad for some Compomotive turbos 13" split rims any J size I have uploaded a picture of the type he is after ......hoping it's uploaded it What you got? Thanks
  4. i never expected them just to 'fit'....but the panels they are sending out wouldnt never 'fit'....without serious work done to each one to get them to 'fit'...compared to express panels which only need minor fettling to 'fit'
  5. if your thinking of joining the mk1 cortina club for panels.....dont bother...........i have nothing but issues from the start sending rear arches out for a 4 door that are only ment to fit for 2 door versions.......complete different panels where it meets the rear door...and they are denial about the fact they are incorrect,and say they have fitted to cars them selfs.......no chance at all them fitting....and pictures i took show that fact top strut cups.....1/2 inch short around the whole cup and made up from 2 peices welded together....so massive gap between the cup and verticals rear valance completly out of shape and holes in wrong location rear lower corners...inside and out....wrong shape...bends wrong top strut panels incorrect bends and out of size wheel well...............complete shite...too big-too small....incorrect bends....panel lips non existent .....3 days work just to get it to just about fit correctly top strut verticals short at the top they take your money then take ages to send your stuff...........major issues getting the £ refunded and the correct amount being refunded .....well over 30 emails sent to and from just get the issues sorted......they send panels out even after you cancel them......then have to chase the refund constantly if you want correct panels then avoid the cortina site completely and pay a little more and go to expressed panels....least his panels and are made correctly and fit correctly. im sure i have missed other issues i have had...but i think you will get the jist of it rant over
  6. just make sure the label dont get dirty or you wont be able to see what you wrote on the label
  7. my welder and plasma cutter both were new and did not have a plug fitted when brought
  8. mk1 cortina panels?..........i have given up all hope on the club
  9. easy way to get aircon in any car or home.....get a wetish towel and put it across a open window or fan....has the wind blows through the towel,it blows cold =aircon.....simple
  10. my dad has one and they trickle a little charge out of them,not many volts if i recall correctly.....i belive they have a auto cut off when the batt is charged ....never used one myself tho
  11. dont know if these will be any good or not for you ...but its worth a shot..... http://public.callconnection.com/
  12. has per title,the main door glass for nsr door for mk1 cortina ta
  13. ah the 2nd pic hadnt loaded for me before,now i see it.......so more than likely to be the wrong item i linked
  14. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=3+way+brake+union&_sacat=0&_from=R40
  15. if i recall correctly they are 2 inch bore...battery tray will need to be mod slightly to fit into escort
  16. ah so thats how a 13 inch sits in their...at a stupid angle...the orginal 12 inch wheels i had fitted so snugly.
  17. this might solve the problem.....delete your bookmark and save a new bookmark.
  18. i got one but postage might be bit high
  19. is refusing to come out for me...and stopping the car being stripped...only bolt holding axle etc to the shell......got it to turn but it seems to be seized on to the leaf spring collar.....i have welded a O to it and used my sliding hammer on it...tried pushing it out....heating it and still no luck......and no room to saw it .............only other idea i have is make a puller that hooks over the chassis rail and hooks on to the O and pulls it.....but i suspect the metal around the area is prob not the best condition to have pressure applied to it .............any ideas
  20. yes they will....its only the hinge area that is different....to fit on the 4 door it needs to be cut away slightly
  21. if you really do get stuck this might be worth thinking about http://www.keycare.co.uk/
