Big thanks to everyone who popped along for the cruise.

I have merged all 3.
Please look at the links mfordy and bmxnz11 have referenced.
This is a very common question and there is a abundance of info on here and many other forums.
That being said we can still help in opinions.
The most important question is, what is your budget?
If you can narrow your planned engine ideas down mainly by budget, I have a vast Classic Ford magazine collection and am happy to send you further reading.
Cheers

is this the last meet of the year?
Still one more in December.

Do efi, carbs are shit and dont work 50% of the time.
As for 1300 pistons, they work ok on a mild motor, but if you are shooting for "the biggest side draughts you can fit", a mild motor probably isn't going to cut it.
Personally if I was building a Kent for maximum bang for buck I would go for: 711m block, sr18 pistons on china rods with a datsun l18 crank, custom, modified head with the combustion chamber moved into it, datsun l series valves, custom cam, steel rocker posts, and a dry sump system, all on e85. That lot will get you about 150 whp.
Or you could get a stock black top zetec from the wreckers for $350 that will make that power stock...
That sounds a lot like my build.
This is always discussed. Have a look at some build threads here such as shaneos

Yeah thats cool. Thanks for the heads up N3K.

I grabbed a few old mitsi ones cos they were in a pile.
Tbh if we got a bunch of us to spend a day pulling everything out of the bin, sorting the manuals from the other shit and putting it all back in it would be worthwhile.
So if anyone wanted to organise that...
Im free tomorrow morning and can help out.

They do have a bigger tunnel allowing you to put the Type 9 5 speed in nicely.
Thats all I know.
Elliot converted a auto to manual he probably knows.

Why did it get squished?
I think they had enough with it. IIRC it was owned by a wheel shop.
By all accounts it was a nice car before the rusting/wood vinyl stickers.
Rusty Fiona was the name http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/37327-e28-bmw-rusty-fiona-project/

Hey you!!!

[/url]The DEAL$:
FREE Drink with Burger and Chips Purchase

FIRST MEET??If you are new to these meets here are a few points that may help,Most people usually show up between 730 and 8 ish,We roll down to get burgers sometime around 8 / 8:15 ish. Or whenever you feel like really.We sit around either at burgerfuel or back up top and continue the yarns.Remember its always a casual affair , a place to yarn to mates and make new ones.An oldschool car is not required at all, of course if youve got one on the road then bring it and show it off!! Doesnt need to be flash or special.SOME OF THESE ARE NEW, MOST OF THESE ARE COMMON SENSE. WE WILL PROVIDE A FEW GENTLE REMINDERS WITH THE NEW RULES BUT REPEAT OFFENDERS MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE.
RULES AND THE BORING STUFF!!
Basically these are in place so we have a fun and friendly meet and leave the carpark clean and tidy like we were never there.
- Take your rubbish away with you or put it in a bin, (Use the public bins downstairs not the private ones belonging to the business up top
- Smokers please don't dispose of your butts on the ground!
- Please limit the ALCOHOL consumption. Its a public place and the Police/security regularly stop in and we don't want want anyone getting in trouble, We also don't want people leaving empties around.
- You are welcome to invite a few mates, but please note you are 100% responsible for their behaviour
- If you belong to other clubs and feel they might be keen to come check out our meet then that's cool but please see BDA780, Threeonthetree or 73crownwagon for permission before inviting them.
- NO Skids or Reckless/Dangerous driving
- Please leave a space near the fenced off area clear for the cleaners and don't block them in if they are there.
- Park in a proper carpark! If its full then just use a bit of common sense and try not to park to many people in.
- Newschool cars please park to one side and be prepared to move if we get short on space.
- If its raining and we have to park downstairs then new cars park upstairs or out of the way. The covered carpark is very small and needs to be OS only,
If you have any suggestions or input for the meets then PM BDA780 , Threeonthetree or 73crownwagon Thanks!!

So this is like the NZ copy of it's former guise?
Was. It got crushed years ago.
Weren't rusty slammington's old wheels gold plated?

My all time favourite Escort model.
Top work, super jealous of the minimal rust.
Did you remove the heater?
-
Car is coming along nicely.
However I must ask, does the K&N fit under the bonnet?
Also, your signature links are broken.

When its on the same weekend at a WRC event, the latter takes precedence.

All proceeds from the gold coin donation will go to lifeline.

Soon I'll be able to sit down with rot808 and rotorhoe and watch Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carini and he will be searching stateside for a mint 3 coupe to enter in Pebble Beach and sell at Barrett Jackson.
