NOTAHO

It's been great thrashing the ol beast about, but highly conflicted on stripping it down again, a quick repaint so it actually looks nice, or a repower, really would like to find a cheap zetec engine, at the same time I'd like to trade it for a boat 🤔

Awesome coffee n cars and Wai wheels, stunner day for cruising!

Why not start an RC version too, aliexpress is dangerous hahahaha

Yup would've been it, went in for a wof, in bits again trying to source a correct waterpump pulley now

Yup, gutted, Oh well mines legal now, so will get it out as much as possible

Anyone doing the cruise upto southwards Sunday?

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?!

Yus! It's up and running, better than ever too! No wof but bugger it let's roll!!!

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,

That looks wicked, wanting a panel next! My old eskie was 208hp pinto but undrivable in the street, good on the motorway though

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!

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

Damn wish I saw this earlier, trying to find a engine

Ah well, checked my spare engine, no compression, rusty valve seats........ guess I better find a head builder to sort!

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
