BUMP!

BUMP!

I always call that colour hearing aid beige thats what its reffered to as in the motor trade aswell. I guess its nice in its own sort of way though but personally im not to keen as it reminds me of allegros for some reason

Simoniz seems to be quite good for me

OUCH!

We are the Mods, we are the mods, we are we are we are the mods

I like both

Going to pick up my other car tomorrow guys so my trip to uni (Canterbury) may be the last trip the Mk1 does for a while

If the timings been advanced to much that can cause overheating Also you could have a blocked rad. Or you have a dodgy temperature sender. How hot does it get

But it had been in a racing car and it had, had the granny knocked out of it

I done this have you taken the distributer cap off as you may have some water in there from where you changed the waterpump as water goes everywhere when you pull the bottom hose off Probably just moisture in the cap

Im buying a cheap runaround (mk5 escort ) as i am at uni and it will kill the mk1 if i keep using it to get there i go canterbury so i am taking it off of the road anyway i can get all of my jobs done on it then Things to do are: Spray both wings again drivers one has a rust patch come up and passenger one someone dented whilst parked up Sort out the handbrake set up and fit new rear drums and shoes afterwards as the handbrake isnt very good and binds if its set for less than 6 clicks. Fit new suspension all round and fit disc front legs and servo will be an inch lower on the front and maybe on the back to not sure yet. Fit 1600GT spec crossflow engine which i will be building up myself will have a BCF3 kent cam and a big valve head with double valve springs. Then i might possibly fit some oldskool bucked seats and a nice set of spotlights on the front (might go for 2 up 2 downs not sure yet?) Anyway it will be off of the road for a while whilst all of the work is completed but once its done again i will have to get my Dad to drive it to the shows etc as i cant afford insurance on 2 cars I will still be on the forum alot ovcourse but just wont be at the meetings for a while

A boy come up next to me at a set of lights in his mk6 escort with massive bumpers, angel eyes massive alloys etc He kept looking over at my car and laughing but then he didnt look to clever when i left him like he was standing still Then later on a fiesta mk3 was behind me same again done up to the max he wouldn't get away from my bumper so i put my foot down and he didnt keep up for long and when i slowed back down i saw him turn off straight away (gutted) Thats why i love Oldskool Fords so much i love seeing the look on some of these lads faces when you blow them away in your 30+ year old car Go on the 1300 crossflow

The guy said hes going to keep it as a spare

I converted the MK1 to Alternator yesterday quite an easy job took about 2 hours and a half not bad really At least no more charging problems now

Hi everyone I took the engine back yesterday and the guy gave me my full £500 back I wont be doing that again

Order some spring for the legs im building up to go on the escort they are a set of 165lb -1 springs should get it handling nicely

Im going to try and get my money back today and if he wont then i guess i will have to put it in and see what it is actually like
