Bit hastie with my post there. The batterys giving it charge and she's kicking over now!!! Yeehaw! But the mechanic who fitted the alternator on was a bit of a goose and put it on the wrong side of the bracket and its about to fall out of its bracing hah.
Cheers though!
Ok well.. tried another battery and the same thing happened. Not sure if it's a problem but the terminals on the battery got kinda warm trying to kick it over.
It's a very rapid noise... also tried giving it a whack, didn't change anything.
Thanks so much for the tips. I'd be sayin the batterys on its way, the starter motor only got recond like 3 weeks ago. I'll have to give it a crack tomorrow. Cheers :):)
Hey guys thanks for looking.
On saturday night my starter motor royally died in the arse. Just a ticking noise when you try to start her. It's been recoditioned recently but I'm thinking for the price it took that I may aswell get a new one. I've seen a few for sale in retro/classic ford mags. I was thinking of shipping on of those over (I'm in Aus). My cars a 2ltr SOHC... just wondering... am I shopping for a Pinto starter motor? Cheers
That sucks...looks like thefts are pretty common up your way. Although my mate has put his capri that he's rebuilding chained to steel poles cemented in the ground. The price of capri's have skyrocketed in aus. So it's probably the best idea.
Awesome stuff. I wish there was more abandoned stuff in my city to explore. Would be cool. Another awesome site is www.opacity.us really intense pics in there.
Thanks for all your welcomes guys. Feeling warm on the inside
And now for the pics!!
My Other Half:
Unfortunately this Cappa was in an accident 3 or so weeks ago and after the repairs are done
it's unlikely to be called a genuine GT. It's a shame but we've bought the car back off insurance
and now it's in a shed to but restored and having a strocked 289 beast in it. Should be an animal!
Aha. I love it too. Specially now that I'm driving round with half an exhaust. Waiting for it to get fixed. But when if revvs, it sounds sooo sweet! =]
