Yeah that's what I thought it was in a national paper this week with comments from various organisations asking for people to take note etc

Evening guys , do any of you lot have any info on this new possible laws that could be introduced regarding old cars an that if there not as factory they could be not allowed to be used ???? Just wondering as read a few stories an not sure if its alot of scaremongering cheers chris

Thanks guys !!

Had planned the mot for the cortina at 11 today but that soon got canceled when the mrs went into labour early hours of this morning an now have another son Harley weighing in at 8.13 a new boy to train to the old Skool way !!

Nice cars mate we only wish for weather like your pics show !

Thankyou ! Yeah all the engine work an bay is my own but I can't take any credit for the seats they were done by a local guy trying to start up on his own they are great new foam an various springs all in £550 which I know is a lot but been doin loads of over time to pay for them I'll get more photos when all done maybe a few weeks but thanks for your reply

Gone down well I see.....

Hi all, Thought I would share with you a few pics of the winter make over I am doing on my cortina. The engine has come out and been treated to a complete overhaul and added a twin set of 40's. And the interior has had a new carpet set and a nice new re trim of the old tatty seats. I am sure it wont be to everyone's taste but I think it will transform the inside of the car. Looking forward to getting her back on the road in a few months when the weather has picked up. The motor is turning over and nearly done so wont be long until it's back on the road. Cheers, Chris

Hi all, Just thought I would post a quick pic of my other old ford, my mk1 super cortina. I have had her a couple of years now and had it fully re sprayed and put a new 2.0 pinto in her. Will post some more pics of her later during the re build. Cheers!

Hi all, The Escort seen daylight for the first time in a while today, got the 45's running nicley on tickover now and the wheels I asked about fit and I think they look amazing! Will post some decent pics up later on, they were taken on my crappy mobile. Cheers
