Thanks Chaps! 👍

Out of curiousity, can anyone tell me what car this axle might be from. It's 48.5" wide, has 8" drums and single piston wheel cylinders. I don't recognise the handbrake mechanism. My Dad has had this axle in his spares pile for the last 35 years, he think it might be from a Corsair, but can't be sure!

Thanks, let me know.

Does anyone have a spare Pinto inlet manifold for a Weber 32/36? Preferably with a throttle linkage? Cheers John

I saw this car last week at a car show, maybe not to everyone's taste, but it was stunning and done to a very high standard. It's all metal and although hard to see in the photos the doors and rear quarters have been heavily reworked too. When I first walked over to it from the front it took me a while to realise it was actually a Capri. I liked it.

Yeah I'm watching those at the moment.

Ive got fond memories of playing Kerplunk with my Grandma as a kid... 2005! Blimey has it been that long!

Can anyone help me out with a standard Mk2 Escort Engine Cross member? Cosmetic condition isn't too important as long as it not rotten and is serviceable, I dont mind getting the wire brush and hammerite out! Cheers John

Hi all, Just thought I reintroduce myself to the forum, I'm actually an old member that hasn't posted for a good few years, so I thought I'd try and get involved again! Unfortunately life got in the way of project cars. Kids, house moves, house renovations, lack of a garages etc meant that my old Escort was taken off the road in 2006 and I didn't get it back up and running until this July. Its a '79 Riviera Blue Mk2 that was my first car at 17 (1997). Its a little tatty but solid in the right places and mechanically sound. Some of you who used to meet up in Yorkshire will remember it with a 2.0 Pinto EFI, but after getting a garage built last year I've finally completed the engine conversion I've had in mind for years, its now running an injected 20XE. It's also had a full mechanical once over and is driving better than ever. Does anyone on the forum still meet up in the Yorkshire area? John

Check out this great web site: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Type the two sizes in for a direct comparison.

happy Birthday Mike!!

Yeah, that looks like a mighty fine ride...

If anyones intrested, heres a few video clips that I took in Langdale. Watch out for Wilsons Escort at 7 mins 10secs. Enjoy... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NjTrsBSfLMs

Great pics Tim. We went to Temple Newsham in the morning ten on to Langdale. Great day out as always. Good to see that Wilsons Mk2 was running a BDA. I thought it sounded different somehow, especially on the first run through Temple Newsham. I half expected it to be running a duratec or something more modern.

Hi guys, long time no see (dont ask, way too busy at home!). Ill be tagging along with Dave (duttnut) this sunday, looking forwards to catching up with everyone.

Amen to that!

Slowly! We had twins in march so not much time and hard to justify spending too much at the moment, but i keep doing a little bit now & then.

check out the link under my sig pic. havent updated it recently but its my slow burning project!

Best thing on the telly in ages. I love it!

Cheapest way is to use the ethernet cable that comes with the xbox (or get a nice long one to reach your pc) and a usb adaptor like this:. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-TO-LAN-NETWOR ... dZViewItem I used one on my xbox360 before I got a router and they work really well. £6.00. Cheap enough?!

Rover V8 & the capri, perfect match!

Vista... ha ha ha! ...you need to try mac OSX!
