blocks and chops bro its the way 2 go

Yea they will try and fix anything over there. Awesome restorations with amazing amounts of work. Always replacing winds and floor pans etc. I knew a fella who chucked a mini shell, good condition i think, and this chap was horrified! Gotta love that salt. ahhh...I sound probably stop smapping your thread

Yea I was talking to this engineer in Lvn who was building 3 group 4 mk2 escorts zetec powered for this pom. The owner said it was just too hard to find a good 2dr shell, and he comes over here and picks one up the first week or so. Mad aye. Said he was going to ship 2 back to England and recoup his $$ spent on the 3rd which will be his.

wellington owns. fuck off you other cunts. this shot really caught me off guard. totally unprepared thus the surprised look. So now you all know i'm not some 45yo wierd looking for innocent oldskool enthusiasts to get into my large gay van.

Dont booths have water under the grates?

Picked up head yesterday. Just a recon with hardened exhaust seats. If I go for a tuned engine I'll probably just look for a 1300 from an allegro or soemhting.

Yea its been done before, dunno what you nnedto do though? Adapter for the bellhousing, flywheel/clutch combo im not sure on. Kent = 1100-1600 crossflow. pinto = from the ford pinto in the states, 1300-2000.

Well, seeing as it could be back on the road soon I felt I should put this up. Background: I got it off some asian dude, and prick had reversed into the door/smashed with a sledgehammer or something. So i picked it up for cheapish (for a GT anyway) but it need work. Put mates white door on it, still need to get a new one. This pic was a couple days after i picked it up: Tuff eh? A little different now though. Fisrt time on the motor way the speedo went to 200 and kept going around. Hit the rest at 0 mark and then the needle fell off... Mate took it for a thrash and rooted the exhaust, the flange on the std manifold broke so i got some cheap LCB extractors for it. The current reason its off the road: Took ages to find a head as mine was fucked, but I got got one from Strong For Hondas in the Hutt, with a 3 month warenty. Head was ment to be done on Thurs so I'll pick it up on Monday and do it that night I hope. Only Hopefully if i get this mad job i might have some more money to spend on it. I wrote that in parts so no doubt it's incoherent. Future for this puppy? Rust Paint (Copper Fire agian. Nothing beats brown) 12*6" Superlites (if i can get some from England. Dish and 165 stretch) Lowered/maybe Hi-lo adjusties in chrome. Adjustable bottom arms etc. Speedo Maybe 1330 or something In no particular order is the above.

I see your point too Defcon but this inst really a dime a dozen car. I say go for it. Better than some goon who will wreck it. oh yea, the Starlet, can't wait to see that thing skid the quarter at motown

Bling!

Didint I post in this thread? ill be there, meet you fullas eh? hopefully we be racing mates ke20. its the tits.

Where the shit did this come from. popped out like a salmon and hit me in the jacobs. Hopefully Mini will have head back on Friday...or Monday. Thats if this one isn't cracked either.

Needs chin lip, external oil cooler, and lower. Do it. Rims suit it to a T though.

rotahavik.co.nz is a good place. you will need all new mounts, engine and box. new driveshaft, rad to keep up, oil cooler, the whole deal. go a heap harder that a 4k, esp good exhaust, carb, ported. frount mounting it maybe eisier, just a box tube with 2 45deg plates on it. or side mount, if the center plate is over the starlet xmember. nedskool 13bs are side i think. 12a cosmo plates are side mount i think but you could alsways just put a front mount front cover on.

tak cloth.

Lol this happened on this old Scrapheap Challenge I saw....can't remember how they got it to drive foward in reverse though.

!!!!!!! WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! That thing is profoundly awesome! jizz!!! But on a serious note...that = super hawt bro. and the dish is sensational. And the 2 tone...wow.

Got oil in it? They run real hot when you down on oil. And then you may be needing oil cooler...external of course..

^^^ That works a treat.

Putting them back in is a bit of a cunt. You have to wigle it round and there will always be the last courner that will be a mish. If you're getting new seals and stuff take get a window place to do it as they will guarantee it and they also have the little tool to put the locking strip back in.

Once the locking strip is out as Methodz said get a couple people in there. remember push with equal distrobutions. Make sure someone is there to catch the windscreen. There may also be a strip on the inside.

They will be welded on. It's British....pricks. Cut the guard away and then grind the spot welds. Like the grind the guard section so it heats up the weld and comes off easier. Use pliers. Try and keep the lip the guard is welded on to in the best condition possible. And dont forget there is a 99% chance your now guard won't line up properly.

Stupid 56k.
