Sorry guys not sure if im going to be back in time. going to westport for the buller all ford day

sure thing. i think a few might have cracks in them tho.

keen. can bring a BBQ if we ended up having a meet at leppas

sold the red car

purchased parts car

have you met any of the south island OS members?

It is common to have engine bay fires in these. ive had one in one of mine too. the brass fitting that the fuel line goes onto is pressed into the carb and have a tendancy to fall out.

I have a pile of spare parts if you need anything, I might even have one of those ugly spotlight grills somewhere

when you do your 5 speed conversion you will need a sierra speedo cable as they are slightly longer than the cortina one

I will donate a set of hubcaps to this project

Excellent!

I'm thinking maybe we should go see Simon tommorrow evening and pick his brains about the costs involved in running the TBI that his pinto van has.

sweet, if not tomorrow maybe next week as im heading down south on friday for the weekend

Ermine White.. Same colour as factory Lotus.. (I think)

correct, ermine white was used on the early english stuff

I picked this up today bart

wow you sold that quick, good stuff.

also happy to help if you need a hand with the 4 door

yeah it has been done, there was a green mk2 sedan floating around palmerston north, it was on trademe for quite a while, i dont think it was certified tho

yep your old black one i haven't done anything with the orange one yet.... do you recon any of the hamilton boes would collect the parts from your parents place and bring them to nats?

Only if i get to ride it. Iv only got enough tie downs for my motortbike so youll have to get some more for the fa

sweet as, I have got plenty of tie downs, so that should be sweet, and yeah you can take it for a burn....

sweet project dan, also good to hear you are staying put... when i saw your sig about not having a project i was thinking i might have to sell you a cortina

st asaph street is open

Andy, do you have room on the back of the ute for a fa50?

all goodly .and cheers,mines a wee way off,its heading into the garage once my escort van goes into storage for a full engine bay overhaul,its rough as guts atm(millions of extra holes etc),wish me luck,lol

good luck lol... looks like im gonna have to pull the gold one apart this weekend. theres a big puddle of oil under it

joys of old fords ae?? .if ya need any little bits and pieces let me know,ive got a parts mark 5 here,most of the parts are gone off it into my black one but ive got excess bits from both the black and the parts one(im building the black one as 1 good one out of the two,lol).you havent got any window seals that run along bottom of door windows??mine is missing them

puddle of oil was because the oil cap had blown off and the mrs was driving it around for 2 days with no cap do you have a good mk5 bonnet? preferably in red... in looking at putting the other crashed one back together now. i found somewhere in the UK you can buy those window weather seals from, I will find out who it was

wow that was a quick fix mate you must have finished the work on the house

get that sweet mk2 wagon of your done now

haha... house is way off being finished... im waiting on EQC to sort themselves out. i did roll it out of the shed over the weekend so you never know.

I see you have come to your senses and decided to stay in NZ... what sort of project are you after?

Maybe we should pick up Yoddy in blenheim on the way through instead?

sweet idea / unless rob changes his mind and decides to come to the sweetest event on the OS calendar

not long to go now keen for somewhere to sleep at Beavers pad on sunday

all goodly .and cheers,mines a wee way off,its heading into the garage once my escort van goes into storage for a full engine bay overhaul,its rough as guts atm(millions of extra holes etc),wish me luck,lol

sorry to butt in,but [i500gt],you wouldnt have a pair of ghia over riders stashed would you??im after a pair for the rear bumper on my mark 5 ghia,lol.good effort on repairing this one too,mine is a lil further off road legal,lol

sorry don't have any spare ones, my car only came with 2 so i need a couple for myself. your car looks like a good one from your project tread, it wouldn't take much to get it sorted

cheers

id clean the carb, clean the jets/fuel bowl/carb filter etc,

from memory, its just removing the filter, disconnect choke, then five screws,

may work, but like you say you're not getting any fuel beyond the carb, that's where id look

this is where i would start too... those webbers are normally pretty good but can have issues especially if it hasnt done many kms recently. my old daily is normally hard to start first thing but seems to start fine later on in the day... but thats cos its got hardly and compression on cylinder number 3

I remember that wagon or trademe, looked quite tidy from the pics.

I will have springs, possibly a regulator, most of them have suffered the same fate as yours, will definitely have a visor, and i might have a door card, will look through the parts cars next time im out at the farm
