mattscort

Yeah i miss dailying my s3 Ill definitely get another one but maybe not for a year or 2, and i want to have a common rail diesel in it

So this is all good again, did about 1000km last few days no sweat. Anyone know the history of this car? I need the paint code. Cos I got rusts to deal to. No pics/maybe one in the next few days

qotsa

oh man I want to come to a meet now, maybe next month

You people are psychic. Radiator getting recored.

So its not the head or head gasket, sweet! Getting radiator recored. Maybe do water pump aswell. But im off to work on monday so nothing getting done for 4 weeks. Thinking about spending my bonus on head work and a cam and whatnot. Or a isuzu bighorn.

Triple idas on custom manifold for maximum fuel to usage

Sneaky suspicion she did the head gasket returning. Massive overheats. It was a long weekend for her she made auckland but didn't quite get back. Compression test will be done when I get back and maybe pressure test coolanr system? Wasnt losing water just heating up crazy hot. I replaced thermostat and it made no difference

Broke down lol I'm going snowboarding for a week, update/me asking questions will resume afterwards I'm back to being a landrover driver my god its actually worse than a tractor If I need to pull the head that things getting shaved as fuck

this thread is still alive? scribbulon you seem keen, chuck a thread up for your esky or something so we can perv at its 4-doors of awesomeness and 1100 sewing machine

Oh ok bro if its low key then I'm in for sure, none of my friends in this end of the world are into old crap so it will be cool to check out some other rides edit just checked out the pics looks boss

Yeah bro I can honestly see how people get hooked on vals/chrysler stuff now, once this is done I'm gonna park it up and try find a vh or vj or something and build a rough as skid mobile as you have mentioned

ok maybe man whats involved? I don't really cruise town or that sort of thing Oh man wanna part with them? Obviously some kind of payment would go your way

negatory I'm in welly, whys that

So I have been driving this basically nonstop, It has made me question why I spent so much time with small old fords and toyotas etc. So smooth to drive and I get such good vibes driving it. But these are the hubbys I have 2 of and want two more I have the 4 hubcap clip lump things, like runamuck said I think they are vg wheels And I have 2 of these if someone wants to swap or just needs some. They only fit my spare so I have no use at the moment Shameless beauty shot Thanks for the good advice and answers chaps, I havn't really asked many q's on this forum until now but this is new territory for me and your help is really appreciated

//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/42022-wtb-ford-1600-or-2000-ohc/ check out the expected price of a pinto

Yeah man will become familiar with your car as pinto is not too difficult but requires you to think and will probably not cost the earth, even buying a rusty cortina and taking the engine and box out would be waaaaaay cheaper and faster, car wouldn't even be in the shed for long. Then you will see the trans tunnell size and the distances between bulkhead and radiator, and between the arches, how the cable clutch runs, how to mate up a different accelerator cable, how much you need to cut out of bulkhead for a stupid distributor and all that shit so you can judge better for yourself in the future what will and what wont work. 3sge would be dope but it wouldn't be my first choice, mx5 twincam with 6speed would be boss if you were gonna spend shitloads (that was what I dreamed of for my last escort)

Hey man was that electronic ignition a kit or did you order the parts individually? Also where from, like summit or something?

if you wanna pull buy something with a bench seat, most chicks don't care about speed they just wanna be comfy and feel like they are part of what your doing

pinto

Its got a disc front end so I'm assuming that's off a vf or vg? I'll get some pics. Wheels are widened Wouldn't start today.Nut fallen off starter motor terminal lol

Hi all So I bought this thing off trademe, not mint but decent. Its a good base to get to where I want. Its my first Valiant. Its a running project, I don't like the whole taking it off the road to work on it thing anymore as I lose motivation if I can't enjoy it. So yeah first I will be making some small alterations and probably send it to the panelbeaters for a few touch ups and rust spots. Longer term I'm thinking maybe a worked 225 with the standard 3 speed manual as I would hate to convert it to floor change. Or a 318 although that might involve an auto box. I'm after some hubcaps to fit my 14 inch steels if anyone has some they want to flick. I have 2 that fit and 2 that are too small so could work out a deal or something. Also someone buy my landrover my olds are getting annoyed

Use wooden chairlegs

I've used silver solder to repair pipework and join dissimilar shit together and its always the metal around it that deforms later. I usually use a small benz-o-matic torch with yellow gas cylinder, MAP. Blue works too but we have MAP at work most of the time. Works mint just gotta remember where you want the heat. Somtimes I braze shit but usually can't be fucked getting oa out when silver solder is so easy. But I am not a plumber so I could be doing this wrong.

Used it in a worked 4k KP, didn't really help that much. Detonation went away but returned intermittently even if I hadn't finished the tank of gas that I had added it to. I used that NOS stuff, or may have been wynns? Tuned car correctly about 2 months later and ran it on 95 sweet as. Worn distributor drive gear was the problem in the end.
