  1. Why not start an RC version too, aliexpress is dangerous hahahaha
  2. Yup would've been it, went in for a wof, in bits again trying to source a correct waterpump pulley now
  3. Yup, gutted, Oh well mines legal now, so will get it out as much as possible
  4. Anyone doing the cruise upto southwards Sunday?
  5. Gaz damper issue fixed no more squeal over bumps, Front brake calipers rebuilt like new, Lots of attention to front suspension, all ready for another wof, summers on! Get ya oldskool rides out! Where do we get a cool sticker these days?!
  6. Yus! It's up and running, better than ever too! No wof but bugger it let's roll!!!
  7. Few things done, head got new valves, seats and a skim, thrown it back together and got it in the car tonight, hopefully running by the weekend, sort another wof soon for summer cruising,
  8. That looks wicked, wanting a panel next! My old eskie was 208hp pinto but undrivable in the street, good on the motorway though
  9. And I went to check out the ST with high hopes and willing to spend wayyyy to much coin just for a good engine, turned out to be bit of a dud, back to the drawing board, Today cleaned up and crack tested the pinto head and dropped off to get machined, get it back soon then do the assembly, hopefully have something to skid around in for summer at least!
  10. Ah well, after being told by the engine reconditioners why bother with the pinto it's too old, looks like I've found a ST170, now to start spending some coin i guess
  11. Damn wish I saw this earlier, trying to find a engine
  12. Ah well, checked my spare engine, no compression, rusty valve seats........ guess I better find a head builder to sort!
  13. Got my spare engine on a stand, about to pull it off bolt gearbox up and run a quick compression test and see if it's OK, throw a wild cam in with a gasket/seal kit, and see if it works I guess Would like to full rebuild it but I'm on the fence about actually throwing money on an old donk
  14. Broken engine unfortunately, screw unwound itself from choke butterfly and in it went, parked up for awhile and try find a zetec motor and parts to fit fml, I guess we'll see how far I get or it may end up sold, depressing not being able to blat around in it
  15. Really don't like the rear springs I bought for the escort, Who in NZ can make leaf springs? Cheers
