  3. guys i think there are good points that have been raised ,i think they will try to take us out of the motoring equation, but.......... I HAVE A CUNNING PLAN! if we ALL now train to be vehicle inspectors........
  4. good thinkin mate ! now that is one good reason to give the wife when i buy another one! by the way i saw your tina at symmonds yat. that is a lush bay mate! seriously, i really believe these motors of ours are on a [not so secret] agenda,we may have a battle ahead........
  5. a mate of mine has one i was after, nos and he wanted £200 to rich for me but id be happy to get one for a ton , minter mind no filler! mike
  6. ok govt wants old motors off the road, its no secret, the mots will get tighter ,the tax exemption will probably get recinded, not extended! so,will they hit the modifieds? make mots harder? reduce the milage you can do? restrict roads and areas you can use your pride and joy on? these are all measures that have been discussed or implemented in e u countries lets face it all it will take is a modded saxo with big exhaust with a. doped up driver,to plough into a group of mums and kids killing and maiming ,you can see the press driving the politicians knife into our dream cars! in this land it really could happen. what do you reckon? ARE OUR DAYS NUMBERED?? [oh and i have six old fords of my own]
  7. id go v8 but so sleeper it,and hide it all away ,and slay all the litle prats with the boom box/big tailpipes, id even wear a cap and clamp a pipe 'tween me teeth!
  8. AGREED,top chaps and another tip for good bits at a fair price and top service,BRESCO for all trim clips for old fords,dont pay lots for rip off prices off ebay cowboys ,they buy lots for pence from bresco, only bit i cant cet off them is MK1 CAPRI GXL side trim [swage line] clips try them its the tip of the week mike

WRONG he has just popped over today ,with his uncles thames [anglia] vanand said he knew it was worth a grand or so,and he got it off his uncle Bob for £300 [seen reciept ] gen ,fair condition ,needs a week to put it on the road ,he gave me the car for £250! cos i did him a big favour,and then he said "thanks" to me now isnt THAT a nice thing? photos to follow soon mike

  18. bresco .com ,its the makers of those and they sell you enough to do the job and cheap too ,thats where all the ebay stuff is from they do poo loads of them all you could need EXCEPT gxl mk1 capri side trim!
  19. I was at a mot stn in wiltshire a month back when a big head with a nice etype came in......and dropped one chrome wire wheel off the edge of the pit,car tipped and looked as if was all going in, we got about 8 guys under it and lifted and big head reversed back ,not a scratch! mot man was glad it wasnt him!!! mike
  20. got a solution, pm sent mike
  21. this is very much a structural part of the body! just try removing the skin and jacking the corner of the car up,the diagonal measurements across the roof change right from first pump! ok this is flexing ,but without this ridgidity you are in a high speed open topped box ! the diy guy will do fine with guidance and the right kit .it is not the job for a no-gas mig and begginer welders! HOW ABOUT FIBRE GLASS WINGS?THESE ARE FITTED MORE AND MORE BY OSF OWNERS AS THE STEEL ITEMS GET HARDER TO FIND and the overall strength of the car is affected dramatically, ridgid inner wing / outer wing construction goes out the window,and who talks of bracing or additional support?and do all f/glass wing fitters tell thier insurers? deep thought is needed on that! mike
  22. more xclusive than a ferrari ,,cooole than an iceberg [drives like one too] but id love one mike
  23. whats the e mail address........? as i could do with some of that £45 a week AND thats only with shift and a bit of overtime ,god its better than my boss pays me!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh i am the boss
