Trial build of the strut DSC_0016 by quickrack, on Flickr

RS2000 Struts with spring seats moved down 3" DSC_0046 by quickrack, on Flickr Painted up. DSC_0009 by quickrack, on Flickr Adjustable track control arms and twin cam anti roll bar and double width arb mounts. DSC_0013 by quickrack, on Flickr What do you think??

Fantastic! Look like you really minded it.

The manifold didnt work..... Plan b. I sold some spares and got a twin choke weber etc which I am now fitting. DSC_0024 by quickrack, on Flickr When its running i will be changing the entire front suspension set-up in a bid to get some actual suspension. Rs struts with lowered spring mounts, gaz short adjustable inserts, adjustable tca's so I can set the geometry right and a twin cam arb held by double width mounts. All bought slowly since last september. Still looking for a gearbox as well.

Its problematic grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Cos the one in the dash wont work. Entire dash and its top will be rebuilt if I ever get a minute and it will go then.

Lovely job!!

Buy some 10mm steel plate, find a lenght of pipe to match the mounts on the carbs and get a gasket to use as a template Bike manifold1 by quickrack, on Flickr Cut, drill, file, grind etc......

I don't do speedbumps. I avoid them. Detour past them. Reverse away from them even. Got sick of being beached

Shocking really

Well it's only worked. So far no issues with it catching. On to next project. Replacing my borrowed twin 40 webers with the carbs off a Zzr750rr!

I like that!

Well that is a marmite car.

How this you get on after with them?

I know of a hard used mk11 escort with one. Have a wee video somewhere but can't find it. Lovely looking Cortina that!

Did anyone get satisfaction or is he still scamming?

Feckin mericans ruining the planet. Them eggs were a bloody institution. Not any more

I would love that.....van

No idea but damn cool, them

That's a tough one. To plough time, effort etc in and then sell it. I found doing a little everyday, even only a small thing led to eventual progress and one day I was enjoying it again. Can take a while tho

Behind the wheel studs are four bolts screwed into the axle, holding the bearing and seal in place. Have you removed these? If so, then I suggest more weight on the hammer slide, might help.

Good man

I used those rust and paint removal discs from 3m. Great job.

My dipped beams have stopped working. And when fixed (my plan for the weekend) I need to get them focused.
