Page 8. His fabrication skills are mean!

Sweet, not a current priority, but will write ya details down as i'll need it done at some stage. Its a mk1 escort, dented both sides where the old style jack slots into the chassis. Quite deep dents

Tony, can you pull dents out of sills?

Not confirmed yet, keep an eye on toyspeed if you're on there.

It 'may' end up being at a grasskhana event

Cheers again, I like those odds

New question

Just lookin for a pad as want to keep it factory. 50k on the clock so keeping the cluster Cheers for the suggestion though, I should check out their site and see what parts I can get

Cheers guys

Edited rather that new thread... Are Mk1 4door and 2 door windscreens the same? Will rubbers from a coupe fit a 4door? TIA

How old is the battery? Running it low may have hurt its feelings. A battery can read 12v and still be stuffed.

Sorry I was meaning price wise

Whats the going rate for a set of mk1 struts with brakes? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =209769105

Reason I thought i'd go for mk1s is that everything else should bolt up fine? Mk2s being metric I heard you have to make up new brake hoses to go from metric to imperial, so would going for mk1 struts mean this cost would be avoided? Will look into the m16s you speak of and compare to the struts I have an eye on. Thanks anymore info appreciated

Decided to drag this thread up as I want some info on mk1 struts, but my small question doesn't need a whole thread. I have drums all around and may in the future look at putting discs on the front if the drums don't cut it.... So will mk1 disc brake struts bolt in place of mk1 drum struts with no mods? If yes, anyone in chch have some struts/discs/calipers lying around they will sell for cheap? Don't need shocks. Cheers

Would depend how wide they are really. The wider the rim the more chance they will stick out. I'm pretty sure however that if you tried a 7" 40p (or similar) on the car and checked guard clearance, and had 20mm guard clearance, then a 7" 25p rim should sit 15mm further towards the guard if that makes sense. Without touching the guard. I think thats how it works.

mint pics I'm guessing the tourists getting owned bit is them getting blocked in there

Enough room there? What about over the bridge just past the sailing club, in that car park?

How welcome would a new school car be? None of my oldschool rides are on the road Repowered can vouch for me having a couple of oldschoolers tho (Bling)

Cheapest option is probably hire a car trailor and do it yourself. Paying anyone else to do it will usually cost $$$$ more

I thought it was pretty good aye, found a few sets of sweet rims, but car was parked quite far away so settled on a pair only as cbf carrying that much pair of 3 piece volks for 40 bucks grabbed some indicators and fender mirrors etc too. Spent just as much on food and drink tho depended on what kinda stuff you want I guess.

did ya end up going? only just saw this post now but fuck the swapmeet was mint

terrible aye!!! and by the time you start getting somewhere.... you're at limiter and having to change up a gear and get stuck in the low revs again

What you plan to tow? The more cc the better for towing really. As a general rule. a 2L isn't going to happily tow all that much with ease

Never had any problems with WOF checks there. Firm but fair.
