  1. It’s been over a year since I’ve posted about the ford. I Have only just gotten it to the stage where she can be driven. The brakes took me so long to do.And all I did was replace the master, wheel cylinders and brake lines. Gave it a good clean and enjoying it before something else brakes on it.
  2. I had a malpassi in my rx3 and it used to make a strange noise. Anyways it only happened when the car hadn’t been used for a long period of time then after driving around a bit it would be fine. I ended up replacing it for a turbo smart one.
  3. It’s alive!!! Breaks need attention and the clutch needed adjustment. I haven’t taken it for a good drive yet still trying to sort a few little things.
  4. Intake came up ok as did the rest of the engine.Im happy with how it’s going to look but the blue leads will have to go.
  5. Having trouble uploading some photos.Any way engine is painted and back in.Twice:( (long story) Getting the gearbox end of it to line up was a lot of fun by myself
  6. Rusty/crusty old intake.Will give it a quick clean and paint.
  7. Dropped the intake and carby off to lawrie and his son just brought this xu1 with matching numbers,motor and box never been out of the car and it’s been in the same family from brand new.Anything that was replaced such as belts and plugs had been kept and placed in the boot.Shity photo dosnt bo it justice.
  8. Pic of the stromberg 97 and air filter I was thinking I might get.
  9. So I decided to sell the holley and intake and buy a stromberg 97. This way it will look more period correct and later on when I get some spare cash I can go for a twin carb setup. Not sure if i mentioned it but we have done away with the 8ba dizzy and gone back to the crab style. Also I needed new water pumps but it was fitted with truck pumps to clear the dizzy.These will have to be rebuilt. If I was to get the correct water pumps it would mean finding a new crank pully etc.
  10. Painted gearbox and gearbox Mount.This will be the same colour as the block
  11. A few engines Lawrie has in his shed.The red one is the old set up in his drag car,now it has a supercharged flatty in it.
  12. Engine is back together and almost ready to start.He has a list of all the wrong or bad parts that had been used in the build so I look forward to seeing that soon. Will post a vid of it running when I get the call. Also engine will be painted a dark green, close to factory colour.
  13. His 33 sedan same colour as my dad's one.
