  1. http://www.classiccar.co.nz/news-7900/h ... his-sunday

    The 17th annual Henry Ford Memorial Rally of Canterbury sets off this Sunday (29 Aug). It’s a full days tour over some of the most scenic sealed roads in the region and is open to all Fords from 1903 – 2010. There will also be some interesting destinations along the way.

    If you want to come along and take part or just see the cars before they set off, then the start venue is the Janel Coffee Lounge in Hawke Street, New Brighton, Christchurch. The participating vehicles will assemble from 9am to 10am, with the Fords to depart progressively from 9:15am.

    There will be a free NZ Classic Car magazine for all entrants plus a chance to win a years subscription through answering the question sheet with en-route answers. You can bring your own picnic or buy something at the venue.

    Entry fee is only $10 per vehicle, and all Fords are welcome regardless of age or condition.

    The event is sponsored by Avon City Ford and Parkside Media. For more information contact Trevor Stanley on (03) 942 9977.

    Sounds Fun :)

  2. been some harsh frost in chch :lol:

    been a bitch in the mornings trying to fire up the Kents,

    strangely my 1300 single carb has a harder time to start than the 1600 with twin weber carbs etc :doubt: ive found the few times ive tried a cheeky squirt of crc down throat has helped straight away, any adverse harm this could do down road?

  3. Well i managed to get a one-piece from a wagon and get it in the ghia no problem wish i knew the diff plate was different first thou

    the bearing in the 2-piece was well used

    is there any disadvantage running a one-piece? i mean you should be able to get better suspension angles with a 2-piece right? but the 1-piece allows for a lot of travel at the gearbox end with the shaft so i dont know if worth getting the 2-piece recon'd or not :rolleyes:

  4. ive heard rumors through the winds that the 1.1L have a one piece shaft? in that case it would be best to hunt one of them down? if they fit 16-hundys
