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?!
-
-
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
-
my new problematic daily....its a mk1 focus st170

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
-
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
