My nephew is over for a bit and is being a huge help. He pulled the mk3 zephyr struts apart today, now have 5 stud on the front but have realised the sump is going to fowl with all the steering components so its sort it out or cut it out. I hope to get the diff issue (what one to use) sorted so the car will be rolling and we can get the panel work sorted. I got some side skirts from a mk2 escort that my brother had. Was thinking maybe get some flares like Dylans to go with them and see how they look.

Well due to a change at work I got to pick up the new motor a day early. I'm not sure really what the Trina thinks but me and the kids are very happy. The funiest thing about this engine is the flywheel that is I would say and will confirm later the heaviest component of this engine, how you can stall these engines beats me. A look at this pic and you will see it is 50mm or 2" thick lol.

After a long debate and many engines being fitted to the old girl this is the new one I took these pics from another website but this is the one and it arrives on Thursday

The kids are having their own sweepstake as to who will have a licence when the MK2 hits the road (little buggers)

A bit of surface rust and a lot of good ideas and it's finally on the way back to my workshop. I know alot of you will think this is a POS but if you knew what it's got , what its had and what it's gonna have I think you would look through the light another way.

If your anywhere near Hamilton I maybe able to help, otherwise you will need to find someone that has the tools

I had to fit rivnuts to the last mk2 cortina and mk1 and 2 escorts i changed to manual. The holes should be there being a 69 and the only thing is you may have to use metric rivnuts.

Well I've had this car for 18 years and it's been to hell and back, from getting the whole netball team (including coach) to just getting painted then getting hit by a drunken driver (15 years ago). Well as things go in life other commitments change our path but the 2 is on the move to me again and my wife kids and I are all keen to get the old girl back to the near perfect dream I always had. Have just got the suspension parts out of the boxes they had been entombed in for the last 15 years and have just got a B2000 housing and axles for the rear By slipsittin at 2008-10-17 Dirty pic but this was 1 hour after the painter had put the trims on... 4 hours before the guy hit it
