Keen,

^^ Thankyou, I like chips might see if I can make it

Hey I'll be honest and say I haven't read much but the tittle of this thread suggests their is a meeting this weekend?

What did you get them to agree on for the interim? 4000?

Yup spot on there

Its only a mk4 cortina, $2500 sounds about right?

I hope not I paid more than that for it

So whos going to this?

Could be keen a little worried about the motel and fuel cost though haha

I would give Enford a ring perhaps..

Thanks I had never heard of them, if not for valuation they may come in handy oneday.

Talk to Swann insurance. They do quite good deals for old cars, and don't bicker about saying it's old, so it's worthless.

To be honest I'm quite happy with the service AMI is offering me, since it is my second vehicle and of a classic nature its only going to cost around half to insure of my daily driver they just need a valuation as they will not insure a car over 25 years old for more than $2500 without one, which seems fair.

Just found these guys.....

and they in chch, deffinately worth a ring tomorrow I think.

Hi there,

Last week I brought a mk4 cortina now my insurance company has let me put an agreed value on it for 2 weeks and in that time I have to take it somewhere to be valued so I can continue to insure it at that rate.

Now the question, where in Christchurch (Canterbury in general) area would be the best place to go and get a value?

I carn't see Avon City Ford been too interested

Any help would be great no doubt a few others have had to do this with OS cars.

Thanks

Will

I'll be there in my "new" cortina, look foward to meeting a few of you prehaps.

I did notice the one wheeler bummer bout the axle you still managed plenty of smoke though. Was that just with a standard 2.0?

Was that you at the burnout comp on Saturday?......if so decent effort even put a few turbo nissans to shame I rekon haha

Hey, Just wondering where you got your drop spindles from? Are the too fit a later model cause I din't think they made em to fit the early girls?

7800rpm out of a standard pinto......damn thats impressive although a little scary/surprizing

Would be keen too got the motor currently not in a car yet though hmmm needa find a cheap esky or corty

Hey all

Names Will curently looking for a old Ford to put my worked Pinto motor in for a nice cruiser.

Quick question anyone know if you can buy Retro Ford magazine anywhere in NZ?

Looking foward to getting to know yal

I know this is a little old but I run a standard xflow 4 speed behind my pinto and it works just fine....and its in a speedway saloon so gets a good thrashing too I had to machine up a little spacer to get thrust bearing working right. (proably could of been solved with diffrent bearing though) Not sure what kinda clutch I've got as it came with the car......I've got the motor out at the moment and could take some photos if anyones intrested?
