something wrong here. Mk1 Crapi daily runner, MK3 Crapi under repair????

Needs new wing, door post, bonnet, rear wheel arch and lots of paint if I can find any that is legal! Hope to have Mk3 ready for summer so I can do some work on the missus's VW camper cvan - divorce possible if not finished.

[sambo]

Just started mine.... got a new engine to go in but will be re-furbishing the engine bay with new strut tops so it looks absolutley mint! just got to save up enough cash to get it done and then a new rad, then new ignition system, then new rev limiter, then a new weld on strut-brace........etc it goes bloody on and on and i am POOR!!!. It's gonna be ages till i get the new lump up and running but as long as it is by the summer i will be chuffed!. I cant decide to do the engine bay gloss black or go satin black for when the car is Alan Manned in the future??????

[atomic punk]

Slowly... Havent touched the Escort in a fortnight mainly cos its dark by the time I get back from work

 

But now that I have the Cortina stopping I just need to get it starting properly, new ignition switch being fitted Saturday folowed by a service and she'll be drivable and hopefully reliable again

 

When I get round to getting my welder from the old dears house I'll get going on the Escy

[Capripete]

Err, haven't started yet, will be starting next week when i get the keys to me garage!

[steve dray]

Come on you lot! I've finished mine!!!

 

Haven't done much though! Took all this off;

 

Chucked the gearbox and fitted this one (T5)

 

Took the engine out, fitted new sump, cossie flywheel and clutch

 

Fitted some spangly new quaife group 1 halfshafts

 

And thats about it, apart from a filter king, modified breather system (to stop it chucking oil out of the catch tank) and a Hurst pro race quick shifter all the way from the USA, took 6 weeks to arrive!!.

Now it's sat in the garage waiting for some action !!!

[Mr.Sumo]

Errrmmmm......started getting rid of the rust marks and rubbing the slam panel and inner wings . Cleaned up a washer bottle and radiator tank , so i will have shiny clean ones , fixed the o/sf and o/s/r elec windows....and am now contemplating steam cleaning the engine off to re-paint various engine bits n bobs in gloss black

[emu]

Since the end of our racing last year I have swapped the head for one with a hotter cam in it and changed the points and condensor.

 

and today I had a new pair of back tyres fitted.

 

All set to clean up at the drag strip now

[russ105e]

Just had my gearbox rebuilt,wired in some new gauges and a shift light.

Fitting a heated front screen tomorrow and hopefully refitting the gearbox over the weekend.

Once the box is back in i'm taking the car to work to fit my Milton a frame and rear shock kit i got for xmas.Whilst its up on the ramp going to underseal and waxoyl it.

Also fitted a 4.1 lsd which i'm looking forward to trying

Once thats all done i'm going to strip and rebuild the 40's as they had a few problems when it was on the rollers.

Hoping to have a few bits of paintwork touched in and have it ready for the 1st round of the OSFDC

Nice Capper Adam

[Jimbob-Squarepants ©]

I should really start sorting my little list!

 

Tomorrow I want to go out and pick up a new O/S TCA and anti roll bar bushes for the Capri. Also hope to fit them. So the Capri will be well again.

 

So then I have to look at the Anglia. I need to refurb my Lotus steels, rebuild my new engine, sort out the bloody brakes (or lack of), fit a nice alarm, custom stealth under cover stereo to do, make an exhaust system, buy a nice carpet set and buy and fit a Mountney steering wheel & boss.

 

And all in time for the London to Brighton cruise I hope!!!!

 

Still, it would be a boring life without our beloved Ford's wouldn't it???
