Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 2, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 2, 2015 ..... what you all got planned then? Back out to the garage to get the cars ready for the first shows of the season?
dalmarshall Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Get the Xmas Tree and Dec's back up in the loft.........try to find homes for all the kids new toys!! I've almost broke my toe on a dolls house, skidded across the front room on a fairy dress, and if I had a penny for every time I've trodden on lego or power ranger guns I'd have 32p 1

Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 2, 2015 Author Admin Report Posted January 2, 2015 Dal ... I had to re-read that .. I thought you said find homes for all the kids 1

Kieran Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Got mine running again today 1st time in ages finishing up the wiring trim then it's all shows I can afford to do ! You planning on racing again Brett? Be good to have you back in the OSFDC For the first weekend of 2015, tomorrow I should hopefully get my daily back after being carless for 3 weeks, timing chain needed replacing as it sounded like a van lol then probably round to my mates to see his 'new' Sierra which he's bought after crashing his Nova, he saw the light and came to the Ford life
quickrack Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 My dipped beams have stopped working. And when fixed (my plan for the weekend) I need to get them focused.
mk2 ben Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Sanding sanding and more sanding getting my mk5 ready for paint
JP. Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Back out to the house.......... after two weeks.. Have to as, we have to get the house sorted, as it gets a full new roof (tiles) within two weeks ( by a contractor). So we ( wife & me ) got sorted…. K&N filter assembly/modification fitted.. ( without cutting the stock airfilterbox..) Doors aligned properly and fully assembled including windows fitted ( 1½ days work ). New headliner fitted ( nightmare ). Double nightmare as we have one of the very scarce Capri mk1 factory fitted sliding sunroof. Nobody makes a headliner for it so it’s a stock reproduction replacement self modified to fit. Factory sliding sunroof back fitted and aligned. ( Was out for paint as was the whole car ). Scariest moment…. First time sliding it open hoping you wont ruin the paint job when it slides into the car, and vice versa…. Was a big task as we sort of forgot how we dismantled it after one and a half year. Tail lights fitted and GXL centre plate and trims fitted ( glued with 3M double side acrylic VHB tape ) ( didn’t want to drill holes ). Rear & front screen fitted. Autoplass rear louvre on. Even had time for some off topic old skool bike work….flakes Wrenching with the wife is great, but sometimes challenging. We had a few moments one of us had to walk away for a few minuts... Still a lot of work to do. Interior and rearend and all the GXL trims. Even the bike aint finished as "I" will make a new spoked rearwheel for it out of two different wheels ( is cast alloy wheel now ). 1
Admin Vista Posted January 3, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 3, 2015 I had one of those sliding sunroofs on my GXL, if you aren't already aware (which you probably are) the Golde wind back handles are pretty hard to come by
Danish Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 what you all got planned then? Back out to the garage ... Yup, after 10 days of being sick I'm back to 100% now and sorting out a few annoying jobs in the workshop. Later today I'm going to re-assemble my Cortina heater box - it's been apart for new foam seals. Of course, this is 2015 and I'm really quite keen that this is the year my Cortina gets back on the road.
brettp Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Want to race next year ! Really want to do as much with the car as possible hopefully get on track at ford fair as well 1
skeeter Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 I have just received my tickets for the Goodwood revival which is a fantastic event for OSF, simply walking around the car park is amazing. S
