1300 ghia, paid £160 for it in 1995, and £40 on purple paint!! thought it was a good idea at the time

Most of my mates are into their motors like me but i do get the raised eyebrows when i go on about old skool stuff

As above mate i now use adams gas, delivered to your door

This months classic ford has done an article on this I used H&H on my x-flow and will be using them on my pinto to

Top vids Did you manage to catch the run that Glenbo did with a passenger? was just before the cortina crashed.

Very nice

...Glenbo for taking my mother in-law for a passenger ride at Santa pod today Thanks to Mk2Jo for arranging it for me And to KJ who was willing to back off the power but i dont think anyone really believed him We all had a great time today and if it wasn't for the rain stopping play we would have hung around for longer. Thanks all Ash

Pod face with panda eyes

I'll be popping along for a nose too

As your staying x-flow engine you'll need a x-flow flywheel. Clutch friction plate from a 1.6 pinto(mk5 cortina) Clutch pressure plate from a x-flow. I don't think you can get a clutch kit that will bolt straight in as the splines in the type9 and type2(x-flow box 4-speed) have different amounts of teeth. Someone else will hopefully confirm this... As far as i know the starter will work with the type9 bell housing.

If when you've found said motivation could you point me in the direction of your supplier please. Just after enough to get me started

You'll need at least Fly wheel, Clutch(190mm 23splined friction plate),Pressure plate from a X-flow, Pedal box with clutch pedal, clutch cable, gearbox mount, propshaft and i think a longer speedo cable. You'll also need to move the lever hole back on the transmission tunnel. And theres prob more like bolts for mounting flywheel to crank and clutch to flywheel etc...

Woof!!!! ticks all the rite box's for me

As above, Hamerite always works well

As far as i'm aware you have to earn over a certain amount to have to pay tax and if you was to set up a small business then you would only pay tax on profit made.... Crack on fella, just keep some books/reciepts for expencises and claim as much as you can back

This is one of my mods for this years winter sorn season. As far as i'm aware as stated above the Gear leaver hole deff needs to be moved back and unless you have an auto shell (i have ) then a wider tunnel is needed too I'm doing it mainly as anywhere i seem to want to go to has a motorway or 2 in the route and the old girl is screaming sitting at 70....slowing down would be easier

Good call

Not sure how that deserves a Its not the wheel and tyre combo its more the fook off massive gap between the front and back of the wing around the tyre which is left when lowered

Arh, cool stuff mate, don't surpose you have a pic of them on do you??

Anyone ever fitted these to a set of 7j wheels?? I'm not keen on the 175-50 look and 175-70 just seems too big now

Cheers for popping along, was good to meet you the other night

Cool, be good to see some fresh faces

Nice pics, was my first time there and enjoyed it
