oldbus Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 After nearly a year of technical problems at home and a company IT section that blocks OSF i´ve finally got it all sorted and am back up and running. As an act of penance for not being around i bought this little beut last month... EX MOD so it´s got absolutely no goodies in it but at least the planned turbo will have less weight to drag up the strip once it´s restored Might take a while though... anyone got a MKI front end they fancy selling? cheers, Dave
lotusless Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 good to have you back mate nice new project
over_head_cam Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Nice one Dave, good to have you back You could go for a GRP front end - even lighter ;)
oldbus Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 Cheers lads, good to be back, if only in the evenings. Plastic front could be an option but i need to get it through a german TÜV (MOT) and they don´t take kindly to stuff like that
oldbus Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 HELLO dave good to see you back Cheers Boss
caprinerd Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 welcome back dave good to see you about again mate
mk2dk Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Hello Oldbus, nice to hear from you again. Are you going to Bremen Classic motorshow next month ?
Yeomans22 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 welcome back, did you finish that capri you was doing before?
Pipster007 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Nice one. It looks like a nice little project, Dave
MM77 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I've been following this on RR. Why havent you mentioned the donor car yet?
Arfur Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Why havent you mentioned the donor car yet? Yeah, Dave!
mk14dr Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I know what the donor is, I was in the pub with the seller when he took the call 'Outside the box' should be the name of your racing team
oldbus Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Posted January 5, 2010 Oh go on then It´s getting the running gear from a Piazza Turbo, by the time my mate mark (Nightmares) has finished playing with the engine we should be the right side of 200BHP (before the boost is turned up:wink: )which will do for me quite nicely thank you More importantly thanks for the warm welcome back guys, much appreciated. Oh the Capri is finished, well more or less i´ve got a spare 24V sat around in the corner that could do with getting used next season or hidden here behind the misses and my 47 Rover
Admin Vista Posted January 5, 2010 Admin Report Posted January 5, 2010 Oh the Capri is finished, well more or less i´ve got a spare 24V sat around in the corner that could do with getting used next season Didn't you bring the capri over here for the RR gathering at the Haynes Motor museum?
oldbus Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Posted January 5, 2010 Certainly did Scott, don´t tell me you were there too?
Admin Vista Posted January 5, 2010 Admin Report Posted January 5, 2010 Yep, I was there in the vistary machine. I planned to be there in the Montreal but in true Italian style it broke down at the crucial moment.
oldbus Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Posted January 5, 2010 Shame i missed you. We´re going back there this year again - incase we don´t meet up at CF
Admin Vista Posted January 5, 2010 Admin Report Posted January 5, 2010 Is it at Haynes again? TBH it wasn't really my sort of thing so I probably won't go this year but will be at CF in one of my Ford offerings.
