  1. Cheers guy what can I say, Dean very happy with the fourty's bit flat until 2 1/2 then it goes, prob needs a rolling road setup, Jeff coming from one of the ford daddys thats a real nice compelment, shame more people aren't into then, then that would be less for me, and as for Toby king of pre crossflows thanks toby the linkage is not great at moment still more redesigning this is only the test bed for this engine it will be going in the green two door , passed your car at cf you had a carb balancer on the seat do you set them up before racing, and what do you set them at.

  14. The powers that be are still trying to intoduce the new law, it was suposed to be early this year but they failed to make the start date to many companys still using thinners based prouduct, when it does happen it will end up killing the small paint shops, people wiil not be able to afford the cost of repaints, paint price has allready doubled since last year will be a great shame I am stocking up now.
  15. Nice one nettles, it would have looked better with a flatie or a 302, whens the Anglia coming out.
  16. you have seen the light and got an early corsair ?

  22. If it wasn't for e bay I would not have Three cars and I would not be able to fund them being a family guy, Selling items on e bay has paid for parts mot's insurance fuel ect, I don't sell loads just a few items now and then, if prices increased to much it would kill it for me and I would call it a day sell all my cars and by a focus, or even worse a german car.
  23. I used to fit them for tudor webasto back in the day when they where trendy, I would think long and hard before you cut a large hole in your roof I think I have still got the templates for the 30-30 and the 30-36, Slappy.
