  1. Are they Orion lights?
  2. Id put this up in the Capri room. Someone did give me advice on 2.8 inserts, cant recall who it was.
  3. A very comprehensive list However in my view, how many Escort and Capri variations do people want? Every year its the same thing just with livery changes it bores me to tears. Wake up manufacturers, you know the popluarity of these models, now how about some Escort/Granny/Cortina Estates.... S1 RST's...... Mk1 / 2 escort vans...... mk5 Tincorner..... George Polly and Barry Lee Reps........ x-packs........ .... and im sorry, £37 for a 43rd.... pants down and grease me up. Not interested in Limited runs or tooling costs either.
  4. Great! Got some arches on it eh!
  5. I had a R19 16V chamade, about 10 years ago. It cost 3 Grand. It cost another 4 grand in garage bills over the next year. May have just been bad luck, but id never take the risk again. Went like a bastard though!
  6. great pic, missed that issue.
  7. As most of the guys and gals including me, are cracking on a bit..... the cold weather affects our bones I have over the past few years seen it dead Jan & Feb, but HEAVING end of March..... play it by ear and hope you get lucky. Just look to Classic Fords coverage of the April 2008 meet, the bridge was top to toe with our boys
  8. ...... front struts (coilovers) Cant work out if they do actually come with thread sleeve, spring and insert?
  9. Cracking issue...... strangley never saw that many x packs on the road as a yoof? Ive already submitted my 'Car of 2010 Award'........ Mk2 Tina street racer. PERFECT!
  10. modelzone were doing the Capper 3L S, for £14........ that had RS 4 spokes. May have just been a new release offer though.
  11. Whilst the old girl will never make big power, I certainly wouldnt want to restrict what it has got.... Could someone explain the differences and characteristics between 4-1 and 4-2-1 for a Pinto? I see alot of strip cars with 4-1. so assume 4-2-1 is a more suitable road application?
  12. Series 1 Jag XJ shape Jag 420G (mk10 ?) Austin Westminster Kray-tastic
  13. ...... theres only one sticker that will truly make this car
  14. PM sent
  15. Spotted that last night................ must have been a wind up ........ when was the last time you saw one in a scrappy???????????? .......... a 2 door as well!
  16. ... if its dry
  17. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trks ... Categories
  18. Christ..... are they? Note to self........ forget your life long ambition to own and restore a Mk1.
  19. Well Shane, youve obviously sat down and thought about your future, not many people your age do, so top respect for that. My Father and Grandfather wer mechanics, they did everything they could to steer me away from it.... and just keep it as a hobby. However, some people on here have turned their hobby into an enjoyable and profitable outfit, so its just what you make it really..... lots of hard work. Im glad I never went into it, as even as a hobby it stresses me out and as a result just dont think I could do it as a career! Personally, I think bodyshops are the better option, they can make serious money, but if its happiness your after, just stay out of debt and take each day as it comes! Good luck in any path you take young man.
  20. tricky one that, the whole county would be far too general but a single smallish town might be too restrictive having said that drivebordon is short, easy to remember and does the job nicely. when you branch out and get loads of other instructors working for you they could have say, driveliphook or driveliss as theirs Flash Bordon............ or, Bordon Bennett!
  21. got a subscription for xmas....... not come through yet. Maybe it starts next month?
  22. You have got to feel for that poor fella with the Mk1, oustanding rebuild though! Just a suggestion, can we have some prices listed when you do the Articles, such as the Titan Slipper & Alloy Block sections....... so we can all fall off our toilet seats in unison.
  23. How cheap is that? Idea of the Pinto version http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PINTO-R1-BIKE-CAR ... 45f08520b4
  24. Are there any Legal/MOT/safety obligations agaisnt having a battery inside the car?
  25. no idea for a x-flow but i would recommend david vizards book on pinto's!!! How available is this book?
