Standard Mk1 Escort front legs or front legs converted to coil over? I don't have any coilovers to commpare and considering them to save weight on my car for the 1/4 mile next year. Cheers...............

Anyone know where I can get a decent compressor suitable for air tools and spraying, my old one has just packed up. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback guys and I will keep looking for somewhere in the South East. I have regular contact with Landlords and know of places where the Landlord just wants someone in. Security and Insurance can be arranged, providing there are enough people interested. I do think that a club would be a good idea and if you take a que from retro rides forum they have managed to find some where. Keep the ideas coming guys and of course girls.

Well, ive been thinking about this idea for a long time. This post is just to gauge intrest in the first instance. I am sure that there are plenty of people out there who want somewhere either indoors or havent got any where to store or work on there projects. I work in the property business where I deal partly with aquiring buildings for clients, and I have access to a lot of property that a potential deal can be done. My plan is to find an industrial unit where space can be rented to work on the car for a minimum period. You bring your own tools, equipment etc... and share the cost of the building, for a reasonable rent. The larger the building that is rented the more cars can go in and keep costs down. I do know that there are various issues to overcome like insurance, everyone paying there rent on time or in advance, but for the mean time I look forward to getting some intrest on this idea.

According to the highways agency website there is no roadworks on the M25!!!!, I think they dont know there backside from there elbow. I have to travel from Cambridge to Newbury on wendsday, does anyone know where the road works are so I can try and avoid the blackspots. Thanks in advance

Bump, save 6 music. Without it you would all be listening to mindless comercial stations and brain washing pop music!

so there is another 6 music listener out there!

For those of you that have good music taste please sign the online petition so that we dont have to listen to the drible of those other radio stations. http://www.38degrees.org.uk Thanks

Guys and Girls, I think that there was someone on here that was a shiping agent, could you please PM me. I have the oppurtunity to move to america and I want to take my 2 mk1 escorts and the spares over with me. cheers, Scott

I cant seem to find them on tut internet anymore! anyone know if there are still out there?

Cover it with wall paper, thats what I did to my VW spiltscreen camper, power rangers style. I wished I still had that!

I can remember working for my Dad when I was a kid working round a house which belonged to John Major just before he became prime minister. Funny thing was I thought that his wife, was the cleaning lady and I thought it was apropreate to wear her slippers and also her shower cap, whilst cleaning up the mess that we had made.

Personally I think it is "I dont want to admit defeat" so the person won't sell it. I Found a mk2 RS2000 belonged to a farmer who brought it new, drove it until the cambelt snapped and abandoned it in his barn. I tried to get it and he wouldnt sell it, he then died and the car was either crushed or broken up.

A near mint 2 door mk2 escort shell LHD unwelded strut tops etc... and a spare pair of doors in mint condition?

RS2 axle with 4.4 diff and LSD? Thanks

I have been for the last two years, you wont regret it! I cant go this year but will be next year for the classic. I would get there as early as possible as the best camp pitches go early, even if you are going for a package and make sure you go out to the musalane straight on thursday and friday around lunch. Go to the roundabouts adjacent tet rouge camp site friday night, but keep your distance from the chavs!

I think I will leave a note first for a couple of weeks and see if they call round, I dont want to get into trouble............

cheers guys, I will have a think about it, the bikes been there about ten years..... the couple that supposedly live there turn up every two months at 4 in the morning and are alchoholics so I doubt they give a crap. I could say I found in the feild behind there house.

I found an old motorbike in a scumbags garden that sponges two houses of the council and are never there and have no interest in it. Does anyone know if I can apply for the log book, I have heard somewhere that I can if no one replys to the DVLA letter. cheers.........

My best tip is to strip the paint off first wiht nitromoors or blasting and see where the welds are, for the top. If you are not replacing the front panel get a very thin angle grinder disc and cut through the seam after removing the lights grill etc... You will need to remove the both doors to get to th ewelds on the door pillar and lastly there is a weld at the bottom of the A post. Good luck
