nah,havent got any caps for them .will bring them out with the other doors and windows next week sometime to you .and sweet,you dont bugger round do you .i got home last night and was so tempted to go work on my van,think i might crack into it next week,got teh minty pinto 2L to go in it,so might fook round with the sump then mock it all up

lmao,i cant wait to see what you do with it Dave,rough as guts is a understatement i think though,i was that bloody rough with that car,lol.i agree with low as possible on 14x8s PS:i got a set of mk3 cortina wheels here that would take hubcaps,you can have them if you want,i got no use for them

+1

+1,hard luck awards are always worth a laugh(in a good hearted way of course)

if you want a hand with the 4 door Dave let me know,cant wait to see the old girl on the rd again

good to see you sold it so quickly dave,sad to see it go but at least you know its in good hands.and Dan speaks the truth,get that 4 door on the rd lmao

lol,i guarantee ill loose mine once the cortina is road legal,its rather tail happy,lmao

yup,theres a few hiding in the cortina,but im planning a good respray soon anyway. id stick with original too,you've kept it stock so far and itd be a shame to ruin it now with some custom colour.the cortina has been so many different colours its not funny,if it was original paint though id have left it

lol,i feel your pain money wise,ive just got a purebred american staffy named Munta,so as a result i have less to spend on the toys.but money is no make up for the amount of pride etc of watching a child or puppy grow up ae

hey dude, nice anglia,what colour you thinking paint wise??ive used the stuff from supercheap thats mentioned further up,its cheap and can get a reasonable finish,it wont win any shows though.this is my 83 cortina,its painted with supercheap paint,is meant to be gloss but i prefer it satin to be honest viewtopic.php?f=17&t=26429 generally for paint,thinners etc ill use RJP on St Asaph st,but dont be afraid to shop round,ive heard both good and bad stories about every place,just like any business PS:welcome to Old School

youch,sounds painful .good to see your already cracking into this mate,wish i had your get up and go,id have 2 of my 3 cars done by now if i did

hey Cletus, ive got a pair of sparco fixed back race seats in my cortina.theyre bolted onto factory tina seat rails,the rear holes are bolted directly to the seat,but front ones on seat are about 3 inches towards back compared to front holes on cortina rails.i have brackets i made so i didnt have to modify factory rails(its ghia so may want to refit stock seats),they bolt onto seat then run forward to rail hole,do i need cert for the seats beacuse of this??

nice choice,and if the fabrication youve done on the panelvan was anything to go by this will be one of,if not the best mk2 Zeph in NZ when your done

the one spare panel i dont have is a bonnet sorry dude.but fair enough wanting to fix the red one,both yours are minter than my one,lol. any info on the weatherstrips would be great,its currently lurking under a tarp so water doesnt get into doorcards etc

excellent,thanks for the link,will be trying next fine day we have in chch,lol

good to see the old girl has gone to a good home,and im glad that 1300 is running good .now to get my panelvan on the road again

whats the lemon juice and tin foil treatment???ive got some mark 5 cortina bumpers which could use the same treatment as they look like yours did before,lol PS:liking the choice of colour(my cortina is the same colour )

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

looks to me like leaf springs have been reset boss

nah,got a 205 pinto sitting here begging for a rebuild with lower compression pistons

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

sweet,thanks for the info on the 681F blocks,think i might just sit on it if i can be bothered rebuilding it,otherwise the block could make a good coffee table,lol.

holy crap took me ages to find this thread,lol.anyway,i notice youve got a 681F block 1600,ive got one the same in bits i wouldnt mind rebuilding(Horse25 has seen it),im guessing you rebuilt yours so my question is wheredid you find the parts??ive asked round down her and no mofo has heard of that 1600 block code PS:mint as f**k escort,hopefully my panelvan will be close to as mint one day,lol

*cough*lower it more*cough* ,seriously though,has to be the coolest serena in nz by far,id drive it

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
