mk2 stu

Span three times after hittin black ice in outside lane, ended up hitting inside barrier head on doing about 50mph, pretty much every tool i own including my now compacted mig welder and 4 alloy wheels i was carrying ended up strewn accross the carriageway. Simple advice is dont take it out of 4 wheel drive when joining motorway in icy conditions, luckily the seatbelt and airbag saved me, but the neck ache is pretty fooking bad!! This is at the depot they took me too, just as i was leaving two more motors arrived from a seperate incident both fatal, counting myself lucky today

Just had mine made up by 105speed, very good and only took a coulpe of weeks

Would help if peeps had pics?

as most of you know i'm doing an xe conversion, coz its taken so bloody long i'm forgetting things! Does the clutch cable have a bracket at the gearbox end? at the mo its just hanging, am i missin a bracket since i've put in wide tunnel or does it bolt to engine ?

Proper nice rims real retro

cheers mate, he'll be well chuffed then, i like em he wants to get rid of em, i think i'll refurb em for him then see what he thinks, ta bud

ah its me mk2 stu

They're ford stamped, on my mates mk3 capper, guessing theyre dealer option, but thought they where granny wheels, any clues peeps, also what they worth?

mate i'm sorry i'm one of them, it aint clear when you buy it online, wish i'd jus sent a cheque but will help if i can, what about cross referencing the names against user account info, surely our names are in a database?

Fiat 500, beetle, gt40, mustang, dodge charger all been updated perfectly but within the original silhouettes, that looks nothing like a capri, come on ford get it right!!

nice one mte appreciate it, you know i love your motor, if thurs is ok i'll come over after work, i'll bell ya to see if your about

Well whenever your free matey, jus wanna have a look at your plumbing ooh er!" oh and i think you'll find i got the xe first just taken slightly longer to finish lol

My brand new single piece prop arrived today from 105speed, and i just want to say what a beautiful bit of kit it is too!! highly recomended, only short an exhaust system and handbrake cable kit, bit of wiring and she's finally on the road!!! Wooohoooo

Loves a bit of airbrushing thinking of getting vera duckworth on my bonnet!

i put one in mine coz i thought they was prettu tough but i guess if your belt , your belt goes!

FOOK ME!!! Thats unbelievable, no way that can last longer than one ru tho, the flames licking up the side of the block would melt everything in the engine bay!

Where abouts are ya based?

I'll go with that then I think........Ive done under one wing with a spare can of stonechip already (just to see) so ill schutz over that and do the same elsewhere I did think about stonechipping, then body colouring it all, but im too lazy to keep it looking clean Ok lets sort this out now, schutz is an over paint protective coating, its not over paintable and looks shit and messy, but it gives a really good protective coating. Stonechip on the otherhand is a layer of paint, its thick durable and when used properly then overpainted looks original and gives a beautiful finish, but if put on too fine can chip. Personally i would take the time, key up the surfaces, etch prime then stonechip (using a suction gun and compressor) before getting out the spray gun and painting the finish colour over the top.

cheers stu. i just dont get this guy. he has l;ess than 25posts, thinks he owns the palce and all he has done is slag off brown interiors, 4 door cars, 4 cylinder engines.... HA HA yer hes def got it in for you! i still love your motor mate, and your passion for the olskool! dont let anyone tell ya different your proper!

Its a good way of advertising the car and getting silly money for it! Max power boys have been doing it for years, get in the mag and then it can be sold as a feature car!

hey hey ease up on the 4 door Antz he's proper osf!

So fecking up for it this year!! cant beleive i'm finally gonna have the car on the road!!!

HA HA love it, welcome to oldskoolford, think you'll fit right in with all the rest of the nutters! Mate wait untill the summer and we'll have a little showdown, i aint ever seen a big v8 handle or drive like a proper tuned 4, but glad you up for the banter!!

Suppose you think XE's are shit too?

the guy i'm working with told me about this old capri he owns, well if it aint the mintest mk3 i've ever seen! but he's got brown and beige interior with fishnet rec's when i go round there i'll take a load of snaps for ya
