Don't think they knew what they were looking for, they took all my boxes of bits, aswell as angle grinder, drill, brand new welder! I've got nothing left! Other than the Pop shell and jag axle! I've put the word out to try and find who broke in. So I'll go and buy a new hammer just in case.............

Not been on here much since i sold my space-framed Anglia 105e, but got the bug back, til now! sold the 105e last year (big regret!) and bought a pinto-powered 100e. had to sell that cos my wife lost her job and we needed the money.(she still not working). got a bit of cash together by doing a few fibreglass jobs and put a deposit on a 1600 Capri. got the rest of the money together and the bloke and capri have done a vanashing act!! a couple of weeks after that, my mate said i can buy his 1955 Ford Pop project, always wanted 1 but got no money. he said cos of all the shit i`ve been through, i can have it cheap and pay him whenever i got some money, even in 2 years +!! RESULT! started collecting a few bits aswell as saving to pay for Pop, Facet fuel pump, rev-counter, shift-light, wiring loom, wheels and tyres etc etc. went into my garage this morning to do a bit on it, only to find it has been broken into to and all the bits i`ve collected are gone! the windows have been smashed, panels dented etc etc. i`m ready to give up on everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! police have been round and said its highly unlikely they`ll catch them, so thats it, new year, same old shit!! i dont know what to do now!!!! GUTTED

i`ve been offered an A reg mk3 Capri, 1600 pinto, 10 months mot, no tax, NEVER been welded!!, very tidy interior, bodywork is very straight(white in colour) but a few rust patches on edge of bonnet and bottom of 1 door, steel wheels etc. i`m just wandering what sort of price something like this would be worth?? all opinions greatly appreciated as i dont want to pay over the odds for it! cheers

modify the fibreglass 1`s to fit properly. cheaper option!!

the van belongs to Mick Wilkes, he used to run a matt-black Viva with a redtop in it.

think you`ll miss everyone`s runs if you turn up on tuesday!!

that wasnt me then!! must`ve been the standard pale yellow 1 you saw. mines `in yer face yella` and loud!!

that was me!!

i`ve been asked if i want to sell the wheels and tyres off my 100e as i`m changing them for Superlights. they`re Wolfrace slotmags. 7x13 rears with 185 60`s and 6x13 fronts with 165 55`s. tyres are nearly new and wheels are straight and polish up nice. any idea what price i should be asking for as i`ve no idea!! he offered me £80 but i thought thats a bit cheap????

11ish i think until 2ish.

i like the rs 4`s and the superlights, choices choices!! cheers for that dude

might be a bit small??

yes mate, cheers. found a pic of the lotus wheels now, i`ll post it up

cheers dude, liking the superlights at the mo. i`ll look for a pic of the lotus steels. dont suppose you could change the colour of the bottom half of the cat to dark blue could ya please(to the body line)

cheers mate

whats the best size for pics?? is this too big?

i`ve just bought this 100e and want to change the wheels. could someone please `shop some lotus steels on with hubcaps, and also some Superlights or minilights etc. thank you please

think we might of missed this? 6th november??!!!!!!!

^^^^could do it that way, but will it hold the pressure in the front brakes?? the way i said was how it was done in my Anglia when i bought it, and it worked. i just used my left foot for brake and clutch pedal.

you have to plumb it into the rear brake line. when you then turn the handle, it stops the fluid going to the rear brakes, so only your front brakes will work when you press the pedal, so you can spin the rear wheels til your hearts content!!(or until it goes bang!!) hope this makes sense/ helps

no mate, off Retro Rides forum.

i sold my Anglia 105e yesterday to a chap from Hull who`s going to put a Honda S2000 engine n box in it! i went down to Essex this morning to pick up my new toy, 1960 Prefect 100e 4 door with 2 litre Pinto engine, 5 speed box, 105e axle, 7x13 rear slotmags and 6x13 fronts. drove it back home 153 miles and it was faultless!! all it needs is a bit of TLC on the bodywork and i`m having it resprayed. 6 months T&T and all for £1500!! what do you think?
