antz Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 ever get that sinking feeling when reality kicks you in the balls? I just realised its only 47 days until classic ford show and I have a car with no engine, no engine to go in it, no knowledge of hwo to get it back in.....i think im screwed. at this rate i think i may be going to CF show in a volvo 240
Doc Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 you will make it mate ! Theres enough bods on here close to you to help , just buy a £100 motor while you sort yours out and thrash it into the ground a weekends work at most bud. Doc SENDING OUT AN SOS !
H.P.E harry Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Ask escort tec how much a running 1600 pushrod ready to drop in is
Stu_B Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Do it properly. I'm sure you'd rather go to CF show in a volvo than rush it all together & have endless problems/expense!! I can't even go to CF show thanks to a selfish mate getting married & choosing me as the best man!!! Some people eh?!
over_head_cam Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Just remember Antz. Fitting is the opposite of removal, and you've done that
tim Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 my mex is still in bit,engine went in 2 week ago,not ran yet,no mot or tax and my first show is start of may 200 miles away

I can't even go to CF show thanks to a selfish mate getting married & choosing me as the best man!!! Some people eh?! Rig up a webcam & do it long distance
antz Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 true fellas true but i dont think i have the skill to do it. did think of getting a normal 1600 and fitting it for a whiel but i cant afford it. dont worry lads...ive got an idea
bronze4door Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 my car needs shit loads doing before it is back on the road my plan was the classic ford show but at this rate it will be hard pushed to get it to ford fair
FlashCadillac Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Dont worry antz... ill help you get the engine back in... and if not ... ill park next to you in the mondeo estate as nobody seems to be wanting to see me a car at the moment
radar tech Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 you have ages yet matey. what exactly do you need to get your 1700 in and runnin?
antz Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 i need everything matey its still a few hundred boxes, half at the engineers, and everywhere. i have a plan and with any luck it should be done

DizzyDennis Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I got all the bits for mine but I'm pretty sure I'll be thumbing a lift to classic ford lol. Don't think my diesel golf will look to good running down the pod...
Doc Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 well mate im getting a £500 engine refurb as a bit of a favour from a mate ! So who knows how that will go . POP more likely !! So we are all in It . If it aint ready for CF , It aint no thing . Get a Tshirt with a photo of the terracota terror and wear it with Pride ... That your doing it yourself Bud I may not be there in a CF but my alfa sportwagon is better to sleep in if im Drunk !

Noodles Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Is that all antz iv gotta rebuild the front suspention, get he brakes and front end set up put the interior back in and get it painted
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 I need to change the oil in mine Seriously Antz, i'm sure you know the amount of frustration my engine caused. Due to money and trying to obtain another block, mine took a year to get finished. During this time, a good mate lent me his 1200. What is wrong with your 1300? Bust a move and sling that back in mate. It's better than no engine at all isn't it?
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Is that all antz iv gotta rebuild the front suspention, get he brakes and front end set up put the interior back in and get it painted Well stop gassing on 'ere and get on with it you lazy bugger
antz Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Posted April 15, 2008 the problem with the 1300 is im bored of it and i cut 1/2 the pipes to get ti out bodgit and scarper
mossy Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 im fed up with mine...Had it 5months and 3 its been off the road! bloody tappet monster!
