Was the steering locked or unlocked

All good thanks it actually drives real well don't chirp the tyres under normal driving just clicks while turning into roads .

Are lock rite ratchet type diff lockers road legal they run open until under load then they lock

booked my van at the end of the month for certs do i have to have a wheel alignment sheet?

I do my own alignments with stringlines and camber gauges and never had an issue with tyre wear or handling issues.

wickymyster was his trademe name does that ring a bell or somthing of the sorts 

Exhaust would be where I would start looking u clamp loose or something.

Also after you car has done the 3 month minimum you don't have to back pay your rego even if you have put your reg on hold for 12 months and put it back on the road after 4 months

Ltsa send me a letter in the post when my resto reg comes up got both my cars come up at the same time easy online less than 5 mins just need yr drivers license number

Ok Rad! How difficult are they to wire yup?

Quite easy best thing about them is they will control your whole car programable relay and fuse box run one heavy batt cable to it and then run power feeds out. cooling fans fuel pumps water pumps ect no extra relays or fuses required. fitted the last one to Curran brothers racing 26b quad turbo rx2 and it runs everything nitros line lock trans brake 3 cooling pumps 4 o2 sensors 2 step ect and can be all controlled so this will only work when this does that sort of thing so the ecu only needs to control spark and fuel everything is can bus back to the ecu temperatures and so on

Racepack smartwire are the shizz wired in 3 of them now data logging full canbus just keep adding sensors

So after a couple of nights in the shed she now drives not 100% finished yet but close to cert time

 

 

My experience in running in a new engine is make sure it's warm and then give it a hard time without too many rpms don't let it idle for to long find a big hill and drive it hard but watch temp

And what i found was all this golden oily treasure fully rust proofed from head to toe even the original carpet hasnt even worn through yet fully undersealed have been fairy well over it and not found 1 spot of rust and only i little respray touchup on the front left guard all the rest is ridgy didgy 

first thing i done was gave it a wash to see what i had looks good here

So cortina is finally home as i rolled it off the trailer last registerd in 1994 22 years off the road and in a dry shed

Will be a bit sad to see mk1 go but it hardly ever got driven and need a change can't keep every car I've built un fortunately but this one was too good to pass up
