Quite like the retro look of the large rear reverse lights you see on old escorts etc. What are these called and where from. Fancy one for my mk2 Tina Thanks

you can get a flange for the T3 which has an external wastegate and screamer. with the screamer you can put it to atmosphere or recirc it in to your DP dave

absolute piece off piss too fit. 1 wire to the door light switch 1 switched wire 1 earth wire Cut the starter wire (red white) and 2 wires to either side Cut the coil +ve wire and 2 wires to each side of that If you have a fuel pump cut the +ve wire and 2 to each side of that its in a metal box, so hide that, tape the loom up. put the antenna at the back of the key barrel. jobs a gud un

finally been able to put my interior back together, i know its not all period but hey i like it. befor and after pics

had it a month now and worked ever night and every weekend on it. must have put in about 150-200hrs now new interior is in, will post up new pics in a min

i have some brand new 6.5" speakers (may fit in back) for sale in general £15

lol. i have been at it all night to make it look half decent. you dont know how long i hve been waiting for this carpet. i want it in so io can drive her. she was never intended as a show car i can live with it for now. its only £90 so as soon as i get £120 tucked away i shall be getting a moulded one from OZ c heers fellas

Just recieved my new Mk2 Tina carpet from classic car carpets. To say i am totally gutted would be an understatement, the carpet came in 8 pieces and none of it was moulded at all. the front piece of the tranny tunnel was just sewn in to shape, the passanger side carpet did not even match the lines of the car. the side pieces we cut wrong and too tall and the rear carpet was just 1 piece of straight carpet like from allied carpets. and even that did not fit propely also obviousley not moulded for the tranny tunnel. even the 2 triangles for the back seat were cut different from each other!!! then there is the complete missing bit, the bit below the back seat. has anyone used these in the past and what did you think?? i am now going to save up for a 1 piece moulded jobbie from OZ and will bin this one.

also my arches have a standard roll on them. am i right by saying that makes them LOTUS???

As promised. i have just pulled it out of the garage, please bear in min di have not started polishing etc yet, its covered in metal dust at the moment so cant touch it till i wash it properly. but all the chrome is MINT is there any where i can get a valuation on this car???

i will get some for tomorrow mate but no inside pics yet. i think its a rare colour not sure. its also a series 1 and it had matching blue interior

cheers people. it looks allot better now. the interior now i would say is MINT apart from the lining. all new carpet etc etc. its now dropped and i will get to work polishing the all chrome rostyles, even has the origional rostyle spare

cheers guys. so i need a rheostat. i know the motor draws 4.05 amps but i dont know what resistance etc i need

lol where can i get more info? does that mean now i own a cortina i may be able to pull??

i kow potentiomiters and varible resistors do the same things etc, not sure what the actuall difference is though. i think a pot works at a much lower resistance, not sure anyone??

i am after a variable resistor for my Mk2 cortina heater fan. the old lucas standard resistor for the slow speed has had it. anyone know where i can get a varible one that will work so i can slow the speed of the motor as appripriate cheers

hi mate yeh all done, did it the other night. had tro grind off the ARB bush brackets as the old owner had welded them on as the bolts were spinnin in the chassis. i grund them off, drilled the chassis right through. drilled a larder hole in the top, dropped a spacer in, welded it. then i bolted my new ARB brackets right through the chassis. whle i was at it i changed the ARB bushed - TCA inner and outer bushes for polly ones. Rear axel went straight forward just on 2" blocks, had to thin the dowl down but thats it. Just finished wiring a stereo in to the glove box and put the final coat of varnish on wood. as soon as the carpet comes and i find an interior i will be up and running. just got to set the carb up once i have done the timng

it is decked now, well the back is, i am jsut about to go out and rip the front TCA`s struts and ARB off to polly bush and do the springs. done 2" too new interior done, just waiting for my new carpet now carb rebuilt new front lights pan welded nearly there

bought a mk2 tina 1600e in ceramic blue with matching interior. bodywork is MINT, i would like to say its not had welding but its full of it i am not happy with interior and have ripped EVERYTHING out and buying more. had it one day so far bought carb rebuild kit new carpet new kick pannels new polly kit new headlights new sump gasket thermostat coolant oil filter 2" lowering kit IS THIS COLOUR RARE??
