Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 15, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 15, 2013 Oh dear .... What's happened? Dont give up ((
Admin Vista Posted January 15, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 15, 2013 Dont give up (( What Jo said, restoring and modding these old cars is never straightforward. I lost count of the problems I faced but it all comes good eventually
lotusless Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Times may be rough mate but you can still come on here and have a laugh with us lot lots of us have been through bad times too.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 its not about the car being the problem. i have issues that i need time out to deal with
BaileyMex Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 What Jo said take stock of what you need to chap, and if you feel the urge for Old Fords or random bullshit, then log back on Chin up chap

Hopefully when the weather gets a bit better then we can have a bit of a cruise out in the cars (if up and running). Your not far from me and a few others. Would be good to have a south coast meet up at some point. All the best, I hope everything (professional and personnel) sorts itself out .

Kevin Mk2 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 I think I know how you feel.. a few months ago I (in a manner of speaking) threw all my toys out of the pram. Still sitting here on my arse not knowing what to do with myself tbh. Let's hope 2013 is a better year.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Posted January 28, 2013 well looks like its going to be picking up speed now. just started seeing someone i really liked for a while and its changed my outlook on life alot, i have bought myself a little citroen ax for 200 quid moted and taxed just so i can get about for the project a mates got some time off so might be able to help me start rebuilding the car, and going to tub the rear arches out using an oil barrel. then i got to work out the front and tunnel if i want to play with 4x4 idea but not so sure. as managed to get some stuff sold so will have about 1k coming in over the next month alone to go into the car
