LEONMEX

Long gone I am afraid

Reg check is for a purple Ssang yung Rexton so you would hop they could pull some info in on this??

I am in the middle of epoxy primer on my Mk1. I have bare metaled the car and it is off to the oven this week. Pros are as stated above it is not like primer and absorbs moisture and the green stuff I am using has a shine to it also so we can see any small dings we may miss with a matt primer finish. I am filling over the top as I have bubble arched the car and or me it will give a better longer lasting finish.

I ran a welded 4.4 in my old MK1 and snapped 3 shafts and blew the diff out the back of the axle. This was on slicks at Santa Pod but also driving it on the road was ok in the dry but lethal in the wet. As Colr6 said ok on the loose but not much good on the road!

Brilliant....thanks for your help

Was it the spindle part the same or complete mechanismAppreciate the advice

Looking for a mk1 escort wiper linkage or spindle as a splined end has gone missing from mine. Thank you

Hi. Yes still available

I made my own loom for my pinto mk1 from 7 core trailer cable and put relays and fuse box in,cost me £50 to make. When I cosier it I got a hot rod loom from ezee wiring looms from USA for £85 and this came labelled up ready to fit. Depends how confident you are really?

Welcome to OSF. Car looks spot on

I ran my mk1 on leaf springs with tramp bars and panard rod. I had 340bhp but 13" wheels so just span up. I still put a baby atlas on. Leafs on road will be fine

Up for sale 4 of lotus cortina wheels that have been banded to 8j. I have 4 very good chrome centre caps with them and 4 good 185/60/13 tyres. They need balancing as I have only put tyres on to roll car about. £250 collection from bury st edmunds daytime or can deliver within reason suffolk/norfolk

I always used this in my pinto and now in my xflow. Only really used as told by HPE and some old national hot rod boys said it had a higher breakdown point for heat so the engines could run hotter for longer. I never had issues with coking up or carbon build up but always changed the oil every 1k miles. Nothing proven with the quality but I never once had any issues with VR1

Erm......anybody?

You can get 35mm and 50mm rubber mounts. Make sure you have 2x50mm mounts for the pinto.
